Default Going stupid, whats the metal piece that the radio sits in?

I can't for the life of me think of the name. Its the cage, bracket, thing that the radio itself slides into. Reason being, I need to find one for the original blaupunkt reno so I can reinstall it before selling the car. I tore the original one up while pulling it out.

It's called the cage.
Good luck finding one, perhaps the manufacturer will supply another one for a large cost?...

Go to a higher end car audio place and you may find a universal one there. I just took mine out and if I remember correctly there wasn't any thing special about it. I would sell you mine but I am keeping for the same reason you are looking for one

Went to the garage and took a snappy. You should be a able to find a generic one. Good luck.
