Can anyone recommend a car radio that will fit in the aperture provided in the dash of my T25.
I have a replacement one that came with the van but it does not fit and sits proud of the dash.
Removal reveals why - the cables for the heating controls prevent it sliding back far enough into the dash to fit properly.
Ideally I want a radio that also plays CDs and even attaches the ipod.
Advice please, thanks Helen.

I've got a Sony MEX-bt3800u in my caravelle. Has CD, bluetooth and a USB/ipod connector.
I just removed the ashtray so i could see what was going on and pushed the heater cables out of the way as i slid the radio in.

Just fitted an Alpine IDA-X311 I got of a mate at work, it's a snug fit but with a little more tinkering should be spot on.
I removed the ashtray to feed wires and guide the unit in and even with the mass of wires it comes with it fits fine, has ipod connectivity with an actual ipod dock style connector and an additional AUX USB connection. I pushed the iPod connector through the broken corner of my ashtray so I could get to it easily and for that factory finished look
Check them out, you can pick them up for reasonable money now and can upgrade them to full bluetooth integration with a black box watchamacallit
