With all the talk of radios lately i'd thought i throw this tidbit in: DIN is a German standards writing organization. When a radio says DIN mount it means the dimensions of the hole the radio fits in is a standard size. i have those dimensions somewhere. it has nothing to do with how deep the radio goes. being a german vehicle, our radio openings are DIN but you must be aware, as others have pointed out, to use as radio with a depth no greater than 6.25 inches (some people have fit 6.75" deep radios in though by being careful not to crush the wires in the back). A radio with knobs with nuts that hold the radio in would not be DIN and would need a DIN adaptor plate to fit in a DIN opening. hope this is useful to somebody eric henning@fp.com ps - i still have the Blaupunkt am/fm <b>8- TRACK</b> in my 80 westy! |
