Just thought i would post and say that if anyone is feeling dubious (as i was!) about taking out their entire centre console to fit a head unit, then theres really no need to be
It is actually very simple to do as has been said before. It's much more daunting thinking about it beforehand than actually doing it, once you get going it's surprisingly easy and all becomes very clear how it fits together
Im not the most technical person in the world, but i followed the instructions and it was fine
Just remember to TAKE YOUR TIME!!! Look at every section before you start pulling it about to get a better idea of how it clips in etc, and then go VERY slowly so as not to damage the plastic panels, clips, or console fascia itself. I found the plastic gear-lever surround to be the worst part, as the plastic feels rather thin and i was very scared of splitting it, but just take your time and apply firm even pressure from the back of the panel and it should pop out no problems
I've now got my Sony MD headunit in, so
many many thanks to the authors of the stereo removal documents!! :yippee:
Next job... new front speakers!
