My car looks exactly like that was wondering about the radio as my car as you can see from the picture has a slight lip above it so could I overcome that with a spacer or anything?

You'll need a Connects2 lead to keep use of the stalk. Not sure on parking sensors.

If I took it to halfords would they be able to do it ?

Very easy to do yourself.

You need a connects 2 lead to use your steering wheel controls and another one for your reverse sensors

I've been looking at this head unit aswell, if you get it will you let me know how it is, I recently changed the head unit in mine and put a Sony Bluetooth head unit in, Bluetooth is crap, I had mine done at halfords after buying all the connector leads, my particular unit need a constant live which is something I didn't want to mess with, I think I paid them £30 and they did it all for me, I did however lose the steering wheel controls and the reversing sensors, I was told to get these working it would be about another £60+ in extra cables.

care to share how you changed the facia or the company you used to do the facia. I had a look the other week then I stripped the car and thought about it. The air con controls are so shallow eh.

There's no facia used just the one that comes with the radio remove the front part of the centre console around radio gear leaver remove the radio remove the bracket that holds the radio shelf in your left with a big hole build a shelf mount radio cage to it fasten in shelf into dash job done

Do you have a picture of it standard?

[MARK.A]

No I ain't but when you have taken radio out and front surround controls you'll see

We're your AC dials already above the radio? Mine is different they are at the bottom and it has a circular screen for the heat
