mate take it back to where u buy it and get a refund!

claim your dad already bought you one or some crap, the colour match is rubbish

goto vaux and ask for the one i got!

Its very easy to get old one out,

unscrew the 4 screws,
Use pins to pull the old unit out

clip fasia in
put in the basket and clip down to the fasia
connect headunit to wires
slid headunit in and then clip into place

Any help needed

im on msn

25,

but you also get the connector for a after market headunit into the vaux wiring loom and they usally 9.99 so its good value really!

Mate i would really buy one tomorrow, it will save you alot of arsing about, i know you wont be happy with it, trust me,

Its VERY hard to get that autoleads adaptor out afterwards! Trust me it took me ages today!!!

i really am going to recommend it mate!

I had the silver from them, and the colour match wasnt that bad, but it was noticably wrong!!

Im so glad i went and got the new colour one! its lush to have it all the same colour again,

The unit its self is exactly the same, same clips and the whole etc, just the right colour

I got the Autoleads one, but i have the back dash, so all is good. Pretty hard to get black wrong..

But does anyone find the little compartment under the DIN to be useless. Things just fall out.
