Subject:Radio Size - dimensions?
From:John Graham
Date:Sat, 1 Feb 2003 10:45:44 -0500

The after market radio that I installed in my 88 Vanagon is beginning to
have some problems so I'm ready to begin shopping for a new one.

I can't find the manual on the one that I have which might have the exterior
dimensions, so I'm looking for that info.  I'm considering an AM/FM unit
with CD so if you have such installed and want to venture the make and
model, that might be a help as well.

Thanks,

John Graham

ps.  In case any of you have what I have and have a solution, here's what my
problem is.  I have an Alpine TDM-7546, a cassette receiver, with a
removable face plate.  When it's cold (or even just cool now) out, the radio
will play to begin with, but when the sun shines on the face plate, it will
turn off in about 10-15 seconds.  To turn it back on, I just press anywhere
on the face plate and it comes back on.  It eventually stabilizes, but it's
just a hassle.  I suspect that the problem is in the faceplate, but haven't
disassembled yet to see.
