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
