Most new auto radios don't fit because of the depth... especially the CD
units... they get bigger and bigger because they are making them with more
and more power and features... mostly the Blaupunkts seem to fit, but
unfortunately the Blaupunkts are not at the front of the pack for quality...
but then, you probably can't hear the difference in a vanagon anyway due to
all the background noise.
