Hi, just recently got my bcd996xt scanner and IT WON'T FIT in my VT commodore DIN!!!!!!!!!
i think the only way i'm gonna get it in there is take the case off it and do a makeshift cover somehow
Any ideas? i really want it in the din slot but it wont fit by about 3 BLOODY mm
RADIO WON'T FIT!!!!!!

I think you need to take the outer black case off and there is a bracket that it goes into.
