    I recently acquired a F430 convert which still had the original infotainment system is place. As most know it is simply awful. Won't connect to a modern phone and I doubt there are many folks who can actually select and save a radio station. The Ferrari dealer will sell you an 'upgraded' system for a mere $4,500 plus installation which inludes a silly powered screen that when deployed conveniently blocks the center air vents. Great! So after a bit of research I installed a Sony radio for $129 (!) which fits and works perfectly! For those interested it's a Sony MEX-N5300BT. A small piece of black electrical tape over the Sony logo turned it into Ferrari Radio.

    Thanks for Sharing, Bob. An aftermarket system certainly makes a noticeable improvement.

    Side note, is that a Cuoio interior? I don't think I've seen that darker brown on a red car. Looks good.

    Looking good. Congrats on the F430. Happy to see another fellow Cuoio interior on Rosso Corsa on the boards.

    If you are still withing the return window for the radio as @imahorse said, the best radio for the F430 right now is the PowerAcoustik feature full (Android Auto and Apple car play) and it looks factory and stealthy when the car is off.
