As I have posted in the past, most of the Blaupunkt radios fit perfectly. It seems that Crutchfield's depth measurements are all wrong. Where they say 6 3/4, the radios are actually 6 1/8 to 6 1/4, this being because they are measuring also an optional extended (removable) support on the back. The unit I installed in my van is the Las Vegas model, it fits perfectly, and even the plugs on the back fit! I highly recommend these units. Feel free to p-mail me if you have any questions. Karl
