if you are only looking for bluetooth type services, I was considering a bluetooth enabled amplifier. Found some reasonable <$100 at typical online places like amazon but not sure how they held up.
The amp could be hidden from thieves behind the dash and the volume controlled through your phone/bluetooth device. On your phone you can use downloaded music, iHeart radio or something like pandora.

I believe the OP meant he wanted to find a deal on a specific radio made by retrosound, not necessarily any bluetooth equiped radio

Kind of hard to find deals on Retrosound radios. I bought my Zuma Model for my CJ7 direct from the company. It probably lasted 1.5 years before not working. I actually just shipped it back to the company two days ago. I had the instal shop check it out and it simply just doesn't work anymore. Too bad. It is a very cool radio. If I do it again, or if they don't fix it, I will get a radio with more features, and probably save money, and put it in a tuffy lock box. That will keep it away from the elements.

I just recently went with this
Boss BV7260B Single DIN 3 2" Monitor Bluetooth Enabled Audio Streaming 3DC3 | eBay
It just has bluetooth and an Aux/sd port no cd player at all. So it is only 4 inches deep. I dont know about anyone else but I had an actual CD unit in there before and the wiring pressed into the accordion air duct in the back.

Please excuse me for my ignorance, but exactly what is 'Retro" sound?
Just the other day I think I did experience a sort of retro sound in my CJ. 450 miles and all I heard was wind and the rumble of the CJ's V8. There was some squawking I couldn't hear above the sweet CJ music from my GPS giving directions. I did get a couple calls, but since I'm not the president and world events don't depend on my ability to constantly communicate the calls meant nothing to me. Essentially I was alone in my jeep, nobody cared about me and I didn't care about them, life was good.

Retrosound is the name of the company. These old radios with new technology. You can keep the stock factory radios looks with modern features.

I didn't know they existed until I saw this thread. They do look cool but $$$$$$.
