Where did you end up installing your radio, I'm seeing it installed in the regular location in the pic, if so what did you end up putting in your middle section of the votex?

I don't have a Votex console... TurboJ does.

Well, as my Jetta is still not finished, I haven't actually fitted my Votex console on my car yet,
but this is how it goes: 3 gauges where the radio originally was; 3 gauges on the votex console's upmost DIN slot, fitted with the Votex angled 3x2" holder, radio on the center DIN slot of the Votex console, and the ashtray below. The only trouble with this Votex kit is that you lose the big 'container' part below the stock ashtray. Not a big problem IMO as the plus side is you can fit up to six gauges with no custom fabrication.
