There was an aftermarket center console. I forgot who made it. It had a compartment for a standard DIN sized radio at the top. But I'd forgotted who made it. Its no longer available so its fetched high dollar value on the forums when it does come up for sale. Does anyone remember the name of the console manufacturer. It currently slips my mind.
It does show up in the classifieds occassionally. -Les -----Original Message----- >From: Matthew Yip <[email protected]> >Sent: Dec 15, 2006 2:18 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: [a2-16v-list] Radio Relocation Questions > >Anyone out there remember what it takes to relocate the radio from the >dashboard to the centre console on a GTi with manual windows? > >I acquired Dale L's '89 GTi over the summer and I've been slowly (painfully >slowly) working on getting it street legal again for use as my daily driver. >At the same time, I'm looking to keep the car COMPLETELY STOCK and run it in >GS locally for a bit of fun.
