RetroSound Radio Control App

Quick Setup. Simple Customization. Total Control.

The RetroSound Radio App gives you a faster, easier way to set up and control your RetroSound radio directly from your smartphone. Designed for radios equipped with the Latest Motor 4HD & Motor 4DAB platform, the app connects via Bluetooth and puts essential controls, sound tuning, and display customization right at your fingertips.

Control Your Radio From Your Phone

Whether you are performing your initial setup or fine-tuning your audio system, the RetroSound Radio App makes controlling your radio more intuitive without relying solely on physical knobs and menus.

Compatible with the Motor 4HD & Motor 4DAB only
The RetroSound Radio App is compatible exclusively with RetroSound radios equipped with the Latest Motor 4HD/4DAB platform. The Motor 4HD/4DAB provides the processing power and Bluetooth architecture required for app-based setup and control. Radios using earlier motors (Motor 1B, Motor 2B, earlier Motor 4HD or Motor 6) do not support the app.

Built for Fast Setup

The RetroSound Radio App was created to simplify radio setup and everyday control. It allows you to quickly configure your radio, access advanced settings, and make adjustments without navigating deep menu systems on the radio itself.

Tip: This is especially useful in classic vehicles where radios may be mounted low, tightly spaced, or difficult to reach.
