Ok folks, my facia FINALLY arrived after a stonking £16 import/handling charges! on a £10 item!! what?
Anyway I just got stuck in and removed the centre console as per the wiki guide.
Here you can see the new facia and the new stereo fitted. The fitment is still crap, there is a small gap at the bottom, its not too noticable in daylight but looks terrible under flashlight.
Then it was simly a case of taking it out to the car and plugging it in.
(Exscuse the mess there is still a fair amount of grit outside)
The Sat nav sensor was placed under the dials at the top out of sight.
I routed the handsfree mic to the sun visor.
And finally i routed the ipod cable to the armrest cubby. There is also an adapter for a usb deviced there too.
Done....for now
