Pioneer SXT-C10PS Retro Radio Digital Media Receiver

Retro outside, smart inside — the Pioneer SXT-C10PS is the ultimate single DIN head unit for classic car enthusiasts who refuse to sacrifice modern technology for style, delivering DAB+ digital radio, Bluetooth, USB smartphone integration, and a 13-band EQ wrapped in an iconic 1985-inspired cassette-deck design.

Product Overview

The Pioneer SXT-C10PS is a single DIN digital media receiver inspired by the original Pioneer KE-3080 cassette radio from 1985, recreating the iconic matt-finish cassette-deck aesthetic, old school Pioneer logo, and retro styling that made that era of car audio legendary — while concealing a full suite of modern connectivity features behind a hinged media cover.

Lift the cover and you'll find a front-facing USB input and 3.5mm AUX input cleverly hidden to maintain the classic look on the outside. Under the hood, the SXT-C10PS delivers DAB+ digital radio with selectable phantom power, RDS FM and AM tuning, Bluetooth hands-free calling and music streaming, Pioneer Smart Sync 2 app support, and USB connectivity for both Apple iPhone and Android devices.

Audio performance is driven by a MOSFET amplifier rated at 4x 50W with three RCA pre-outs covering front, rear, and subwoofer channels. A 13-band graphic equaliser, Dynamic Bass Enhancer, Time Alignment, Advanced Sound Retriever, and 3-way network mode provide professional-level tuning capability well beyond what the retro exterior suggests. The dot matrix LCD display supports 12 preset illumination colours plus full RGB control, with separate key and display colour adjustment and dimming control — letting you match the dashboard lighting of any classic vehicle build.
