T5 transporter aftermarket radio options

[Silver Caravelle]

It looks like standard double din radio in yours. The Touareg RCD510 will fit but it will be sticking up a bit, in other word it won't slide fully in. I've tried that in my T5.

Many thanks Transporter. It's a bummer width wise and depth then. At least I will now focus on double din options. Cheers, Scott

I would stay with the double din unit a lot less grief , I can see that VW seemed to allow for the wider unit like in your first link but there is no way it will fit yours because directly beside the opening is the main support parts for the whole dash facia remove it and there would be nothing for another radio to attach onto .Not sure if you saw the conversion I did to my work van it is a 2005 model with 2010 onwards style head unit installed its here half way down the page T5 transporter aftermarket radio options doing this allowed me to have bigger screen and the very latest Android operating system , I will admit its not a job for the faint hearted it was a lot of careful cutting and finishing to get it to integrate neatly . Plus having to cut up a brand new facia !! at least the new top section just clipped straight in no mods required .
