doesn't help as the exterior nobs for heater/fan/direction wont come off. The best way to get the OEM head unit screw off is to use a spanner, and the ONLY way to get the storage thing out is to use a cross head screwdriver that has a right angle bend to it, so you can get to it with the black heater thing in the way. Luckily I have neighbours with decent tools!

The heater knobs just pull of just like any other knob, then you can just unscrew the three gold screws that hold the whole heater control unit on to the console. Then you can just unscrew the storage box below the headunit. Unscrewing the tiny silver screws on the black section of the heater unit is not the way to go!

Also, with the two bolts holding the whole top section of the console on - be sure not to use loose sockets on the screwdriver as they can easily fall off and get lost forever...

Great guide though!

That looks like the one


However I bought this off of ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWNX:IT


Same thing but £2.95 not £10



Used this guide today as a reference, all done in 45mins cheers :thumbup:



Anyone know a close colour match to the silver centre dash? As the surround that came with my headunit is a different colour to the autoleads facia adaptor and dash. I think it would look better in silver

not sure why it hasn't been made a sticky really as the other stereo guides on here are ropey at best!

vauxhall alabaster silver is the colour people use as a close match iirc.


mat.

Sold my EP3 so i've uninstalled the fascia and its now for sale. I'll sell for £11 incl P+P for this and the cable for it. PM me if interested! Remember I've already melted the sides a bit so that it gets a perfect snug fit.

I might use this to finally fit an ipod cable this weekend to my oem head unit. I take it I just follow as far as I need to for installing the usb cable?
