[s-cars] Symphony I radio in a B4 Passat (2001.5)?

[LL - NY]

No, I'm not sure if it would fit. That's why I was asking.  It doesn't seem

worth the hassle. Would've been a sweet deal if it would've worked though. I
was hoping for a simple (and cheap) fix to a complicated problem. Guess it
'taint necessarily so...
