We have the original Audiovox AM/FM/cassette player in our TT. The opening in the overhead cabinet is 14-5/8" x 4-1/2", which is huge. If we were to replace it with a radio/CD/DVD player, what should we look for? I cannot imagine filling that hole, unless I make some sort of cover plate.What are good bang for the buck systems?

I built a box for a standard car stereo to fill the hole from the original Audiovox POS I had.. :)Wired it into the original harness and works great! :)Mitch

I put in an automotive am/fm that has an aux input. We all just wanted to plug our phones in, we never used the cassette or cd anyway. I also found an underdash mounting box for $12.00. I think it was on ebay, might have been Amazon. The new stereo in the underdash took a small corner of the area previously hidden by the factory stereo. When I took the old stereo out it opened up another cubbyhole for storage.

That looks nice! I may have to do something like that.

Hello MitchF150,What I want to know is how much are you going to charge me to come and build and stall the stereo system for me?????:):):):) Great Job!!!!!

Goto websites like Crutchfield.com and nose around. They sell lots of double din radios that will probably fit. If not big box stores sell 1/4 inck oak plywood in small pieces.

Good luck.

We're Amazon Prime members. Would you mind sharing which unit you are looking at?

Grandpa,
I don't know which Pioneer you're looking at, and they make good stuff generally, but if it has the round rotary dial that you swivel around to change settings, you might want to think again. The wife had a Pioneer like that in her Infinity and hated it. Worked great, but she could never figure out how to work it completely. Look for something simple to operate IMO.

I can go along with that! It seems that factory stereos in our cars/trucks, and in our TT, come with large, easy-to-use buttons. After market units tend to have small buttons, are more complicated, and are much more difficult to use with my big fingers.

Fallsrider- it was the FH-X700BT

Ron3rd- I have looked all over for a simple to use unit. They don't seem to make an old fart car stereo anymore. Oh, well.

Hmm, I did not consider looking for an OEM unit; that might work. I really like mine in the Frontier. I'm gonna look into that before a final decision. No hurry, I got all winter.
