They each fit.  I have a Blaupunkt Cambridge CD125 in my Coupe GT.  Most
high-volume/low price shops say they will not, as does the Crutchfield
catalog.  The meticulous gentleman who installed mine had to heat and
slightly bend a vent tube to make it fit.  No problem.  As an added
benefit, when I run my A/C (my wise uncle stocked up on R12, but that's
between you and me) it serves to cool the damn thing down on hot days.

Additionally, the most appropriate licenses plates I've seen mounted are
as follows:
Immaculate Porsche 914   'RTLNHUM'
International Scout II V8       'MOBETTA'
Audi A4 (all the more fitting that it's in Montana)     'HAUDI2U'
