Does anyone know if VW ever offered an 8 track player in any of there vehicles. Especially looking for what radios were optional for my 79 westy

The 1971 & 1973-74 8-track AM units will fit your 79, but I have never seen either one for sale. The 1967 AM-8 track Sapphire VIII won't fit.

After 1973 or 74 VW shared radios with Audi & Porsche and I don't know of any other tape units. AM, AM-FM, or AM-FM-Stereo were usually the offerings. Cassettes weren't offered until 81 or so.

Sapphire XVII AM-8 track 12 volt 1971
Sapphire XXI AM-8 track 12 volt (4 models) 1973-74

Don't forget this one !
It's the Empi 8-track player.
The label on the face reads "Empi Car Stereo".
It works too !
:D
