Marine stereo bundle:
I'll cut a hole in the middle door and mount it there. The front plate extends beyond the radio chassis so cutout gaps will be covered.

I was rather unclear about DIN, so I fixed it. Thanks for that.
I'm afraid there won't even be a blade key to open the doors if everything goes to hell. I don't want the time or expense of a Repair Pal visit for something as simple as a jump start. It seems pretty clear to me that Barman...
DIN is a nonprofit standards orginization based in Germany. It's about as open source as you're going to get in the car stereo space. Can you suggest something better and less "bad-faith argument" that is as universal as DIN?
