Well, I just ordered mine too. I really didn't want to, but I was somehow overcome by the lure of a NOS radio for $25. But here's a question. In the promotion flyer at http://www.vwvortex.com/banners/VW_Audio_Web_Promotion.pdf it lists a number of different units that fit the vanagon, with part numbers 161-035-180-?X, where ? is A,B,C,D,E,F, or blank. Most are Heidelberg V, but F is a Heidelberg VI. So, anyone know what the difference is among all these model variants?
