If the 65 Satellite radio opening is the same as a 65
Coronet, a 70-up A Body AM/FM should fit fine.

your computer, when you rip a CD into your Itunes library it
automatically converts it to the format for the Ipod
player. The Mygig radio in my 08 Chrysler T&C has
a great interface w/ built in hard drive, the "aux" jack for
other devices and a USB port for the Ipod. You can
also rip CD's directly to the radio's hard drive. I
thought about buying one from a salvage yard to put in the
63. I'd like to install it vertically in the center
console but I don't think the console is deep enough.
Not sure about the 65 in question, but the dash opening in
my 63 is too narrow width wise to allow a CD player to
fit. I didn't want to hack a bigger hole for
one. I found a cassette deck for $2 at a garage
sale. It fit my opening with just a slight
massage. But it's not my final solution. I hope
to be able to get my original radio retro-fitted someday.

looking to spend more than $300.00. Thanks again!
