Radio Delete Plate
Perhaps most 1200s came without a radio and were factory-fitted with a blank plate.
Faceplates
Radio faceplate bezel has the brand and the dial markings (Datsun, Hitachi, Clarion or no name). Some Clarion and Philips bezels have no markings but instead have them on the radio itself.
e.g. 'HITACHI 5⁴-16 kHz'
Standard faceplate is 180x60mm. Holes are ~710mm center-to-center and ~65mm diameter
1972 facelift radio bezel is angled to match the new dashboard. Radios are the same as 1971

There are just three wires:
- Speaker drive -
- Speaker drive +
- ACC (power)

Newer 1200s can use this connector, still with the same basic wiring:
Datsun B310 used this connector, still with three-wire setup:
The ones marked '?' are not used (no connection)
B14 and N14,N15,B14,S14,S15 with M30 connector
Mounting
* Factory location * Console or glovebox mounting * DIN chassis * Modern 2-shaft head units
Cassette Stereo
During the time of the B210, cassette players were offered as an option
