Symphony I radio in a B4 Passat (2001.5)?

[Michael McLaughlin]

Plus, I'm pretty sure the Symphony wouldn't physically fit in the  
Passat without some major trimming.

I'm planning on replacing the stock setup in my early 2002 Passat (my  
car has the same single-DIN stereo, plus the single-DIN CD player)  
this spring; too bad I haven't done it already or perhaps I could  
help you out.  :-)
