Does anyone know if there is a blanking plate available that fits in the hole where the radio should be? Would like a metal one rather than the universal plastic ones.

you can get a din size shelf/hole thing very handy

Cheers mate
quite like the look of the pajero one but according to the listing it is not compatible with vw
Im off to the scrappie this afternoon so will see what they've got lying around.

I've got one in mine - not taken it out yet so dont know if its metal or plastic.

Cant help but ask, wouldnt you prefer a radio in there instead?

I never listen to music or the radio when driving, don't know why. Wouldn't be able to hear it in the van above all the noises and draughts anyway.
In my car I have an upto date cd/radio. Ive only ever turned it on to see if it works
Just think a blanking plate would look a bit neater than duck tape.

I find it hard to listen to music in any car too - wife keeps turning it down to talk!

You can have mine if you want it, hopefully popping over to do some work on it today, i'll try and remember to bring it back.

Take a look on eBay.de bundeswehr t3's never had radios fitted and all came with a blanking plate.

cheers Jim that would be great
cheers too Eire
