Retrospund are great, but down you'll find a used one & they are not cheap.
I got one in my fastback & they are great.

I went with one from classiccarstereo.co.uk. works ok, watch out for the DAB aerial connectors, they are not all the same. I used an inline thing that is supposed to allow you to use an FM aerial for DAB but so far does not work..presently using a mag mount WiFi aerial..

Seems to be a vast price difference between the more established brands and the ebay specials. How is sound quality and output from them ??

The cheapo eBay specials seem pretty good sound wise. The only bug with them is that it is hit or miss as to how great the screen lights up with some absolutely blinding and some super dim so that you can only see the screen in the dark in the garage. The majority are fine . And they need to fit in to a din sized hole so it leads to a little widening of the original hole. I ended up widening a tad to fit mine but my lights are exceptionally dim so I’ll just get another at some point if Santa thinks I’ve been naughty again this year.

No complaints about the sound quality. I run an amp to power 4 6x9. Only one RCA output (front) which is annoying. But my amp has a bridge. I have purchased a sub which I wanted to fit today, but apparently I need to visit a Christmas market.. so the sub will have to wait.

The Porsche Classic Communication Management systems PCCM and PCCM Plus should fit VW T2's. Classic radios:

Not an original looking radio, however current communication technology from Volkswagen Group that fits dash. Have to check on width for side buttons on Bay T2 dash. Wiring for speakers may require an upgrade. Anyone converted to the Porsche PCCM system?

Don't bother, it's vastly overpriced and there's loads of documented issues with the PCCM system.

Have Porsche PCCM in six vehicles. No PCCM issues in US/Canada or Europe. On first European tour had a portable cassette radio that kept sliding off the dash and paper Michelin Guide maps. Like the uncluttered, in-dash convenience and looks of the Porsche PCCM plus service/parts will always be available through Porsche Classic. Volkswagen Classic Parts does not offer radios/navigation systems. One gets what one pays for.
