I had a Sony 600 DSP installed in my '90 Westie. It's a nice unit, and the Digital Signal Processing really gives the sound a richness. (I usually play it in 'hall' mode... it seems appropriate for the Vanagon.) The unit sits flush with the dash, has a removeable face, and sounds great. I would expect that all Sony CD players would fit, since this is a top-of-the-line model. Ron P.S.
