THe radio would "fit" it you don't mind it sticking out about half an inch
from the surface :-).  The wiring is significantly different than the
Wiesbaden, so you'd have to hack.  Also, I don't think the protocol for
radio display in the instrument cluster (should you have the auto check system
in your 80q) is the same between the Wiesbaden and the Concert.
