New Radio/CD player in a 1974 Super

Whatever you get for the dash- don't be too surprised if it doesn't fit in the existing opening :-(

The "newer" DIN dimensions exceed the opening size by 1/8" or so.

Hmmm...I've been thinking of putting the original radio back into my bug but there is a little plate of plastic that fits into the opening around where the radio goes that I need to find. Anyone know what that part is called?

Not a super, but Standard small non working radio in dash ( houses immobiliser) , head unit in glove box, mounted in fibreglass thingy, 12 cd changer under back seat, and MP3 player in ash tray !

Speakers in box behind rear seat, and soon to have pods by my feet. Not accousticly perfect in any way, but I can hear it.

Hi John,

I also have a '74 Super. I did find a radio/cd that fits perfectly without any cutting.

I have a '73 Super and I have been looking for a new radio. Are there any tricks or modifications needed for installation??

Well, there was only one piece there around the radio when I took it out so that's all I need to replace. I don't think "cover" describes it too well but maybe it's a "frame".

It's hard to tell from the picture in the parts catalog, the "cover" may be what covers the opening if there's no radio installed. Visit your local VW dealer and see if part number 111 035 313 is what you need, that's the number for the "frame".

what covers the opening if there's no radio installed.

that's the number for the "frame".

Thanks, I'll try that. Now I just have to get the radio out the attic. :)
