I know exactly what you talking about. You have a Behr AC possibly made for an 80-82 in there. That radio box came with the Behr AC kit. Find someone handy with wood and make a console to place it on top of the dash.

That’s why they can’t install radio there. That’s why they are locating it below next to the cover or, in the case of one that has A/T, behind the A/T shift box. And this one has A/T. So, I’m looking for the kind of housing that would fit there. Very few of you would know what I’m talking about. It’s a bit of a long shot.

Several years ago, I posted to "the list" but here is a link on The Samba with pics and comments from others about their experience with the radio. In addition to the fairly basic radio I purchased, they have ones with USB, SD, etc. This is a small company and almost certainly Sherry will answer the phone and if she can not answer your questions, she will transfer you to a/the tech person. Customer service like many of us grew up with. Great company to deal with as one of the most recent posts on The Samba described their experience with them. |
