Cheers, Banshee!

Jim, this is the baby:

Obviously if you shop around you'll well beat that RRP. Mine was an ex-display model from car audio direct that I got for £89. I'm well chuffed with it. Downloaded a free app (songpal) that allows you to control your head unit with your phone. It's sorcery I tell thee!

Oh, and I've changed the display colour and surround to a very fetching green that matches the rest of the car.

Gotta get some new speakers now to do it justice. I've popped the back door trims off and half the fronts (the screws holding the door pull handle are so sheared you can't get a phillips to bite at all...so unless anyone's got any tips it's going to have to be an assistant carefully holding the lower door trims back and me with a stubby screwdriver and micro surgery) to reveal 6x4 ovals all round. I'm assuming I measure from screw to screw, rather than the outer edge of the speaker? Can anyone confirm this?

Hopefully popping the rear door trims off has solved a mystery too. One of the windows wasn't working and I can see that it's not plugged in...but knowing my luck someone investigated it in the past, couldn't fix it and just didn't bother connecting it again. I'll postpone the excitement/disappointment of finding out until I put the new speakers in and refit the trims.

Hi, I had the door cards off mine ( 2000 reg ) a while back, and found the same problem with the handle pulls. Turns out mine was a hex head bolt with Philips slot so managed to slot a small socket in there and undo them that way. Worked a treat as once out the Philips slots were obviously knackered.

You, Sir, are a scholar and a gentleman! I've just shone a torch up there and, yep, they are indeed hex head bolts there. I would never in a million years thought of that, so thanks again.

Wow, I'm loving this place- so much knowledge and know how

That is a great stereo, think my MG may need one Someone has already fitted a single din radio cassette so dash already has a hole in it.

By the way, yeah this place is a gold mine of info. Not found another forum for other brands like it.
