Replacing TT radio with used car radio ???
The 2002 radio in my TT died. Since new RV radios cost $$$, I looked on eBay without much luck. I am thinking about replacing the radio with a used car radio from a junk yard. That is a better radio...

In a class A often there is an amplifier, but if you swap out the radio the amplifier will remain since the dash radio is a standard car radio.
in a trailer, Often all the radios are standard car radios to start with, Nothing special about them, some are DIN, some Double DIN some 1.5 DIN (DIN is the French national brueau of standards and the 1, 1.5, 2 refer to the size of the cut out which as you said you can re-do) so with very few exceptions they all replace each other.. and with the DIN cutout radios it's very easy to swap 'em out.
You may with to get an Adapter cable (www.crutchfield.com should have 'em) if the radio is a different make from the one you have.. Saves cutting and splicing wires.. Personally.. I'd cut and splice, but then I have the tools and training.
