empty box?
Hi,
I have a car with 2 separate radio slots (originally one for a cassette player and one for a radio radio). Since I have now changed to one unit, the empty slot looks a bit ugly with lots of wire and bare steel behind it. Of course I could fit just a dummy face plate, but I would like to use this space as an additional storage compartment. I seem to remember that there is a kind of black plastic inset for this purpose. My questions: 1. What exactly is this called? 2. Do you know where I can get one on the Net? Local car shops where not able to help. :-( Many thanks, Holger |

There are several pockets available for this space. I'd first check with the
vehicle manufacturer... Also, Metra makes a universal DIN/Iso-DIN pocket, #88-00-9000, that most audio shops with have or order for you. David UnderTheDash.com "Holger Laux" wrote in message ...

What kind of car?
I may have an extra (from an opened kit) that I can send you... David UnderTheDash.com "Holger Laux" wrote in message ...

There used to be a commercial van with the same dashboard, but mine is the 6 seater MPV. The opening is of standard car radio size. You have to take the whole dashboard fascia off to see how the radio is fitted. If the pocket had a 90 degree moulded-over edge, this would be ideal. This is where the screws go through, concealed by the fascia. Many thanks for the offer. Can pay you by PayPal. Holger |

Sure.
I have the pocket portion of Scosche's UI2225, as well as the Toyota, Honda & Nissan side brackets... EMAIL your address info, and I'll provide a s/h estimate. (No charge for the pieces!)
