Hi all,

I have an IM with the AC panel which has a DIN opening for the radio. It has a modern Blaupunkt in it, that is just out of place.

Withoug going crazy, does anyome have any ideas od what can go in the DIN opening that looks a little less out of place?

Many thanks!

Wayne; have you looked at some of the EBay radios for 356's & VW Bugs ?
There's also this guy that's been posting these. Not sure if that's the correct size you were refering to;

Jim Ward got a retro/repro of a 50s blauplunk for his car. Old front, new innards.

I use a Becker Europa. You can find them at MBZ salvage yards.

Kurt,

That looks great....Does that radio utilize the standard DIN opening (without separate hole for the shafts, etc.)?

Yes it does. I'm sure some Beckers fit through an older 3 hole
opening but the Europa and Europa II fit the standard DIN opening.
