Do you mean the mounting sleeve?

If so, that's not exactly right.  The vanagon has a
DIN opening.  99% of the radios manufactured in the
last 10 years come with that size sleeve stock.  VW's
are one of the few vehicles I have seen that do NOT
need some sort of adapter plate.

Off Crutchfield;s website:
What does "DIN" mean?
DIN is an acronym for "Deutsche Institut fur Normung,"
a German measurements and standards organization. For
our purposes, DIN simply indicates that a device
complies with generally accepted dimensions or
configuration. Example: a DIN receiver will fit a dash
opening with a width of 7.2 inches and a height of
2.11 inches, and mounts in the DIN sleeve provided
with the receiver.

Crutchfield is great for those of us in rural areas
(i.e. no Circuit City or BB within 200 miles), and
their closeout prices are EXCELLENT.  I got a brand
new sony cdx-860 that was originally $700 for $300
even.  It was only one year out of date.  I also got
killer deals on some 5.25" components, and 4X6's for
my Scirocco.  This was when I lived in Houston with 4
best buy's within 15min of my apartment.  Crutchfields
prices were always lower.  Even if only by a couple
$$$.  If you have to go retail, they are very good.
Plus they give you all kinds of mounting accessories
for free with your purchase.
