Welcome to the forum, lovely looking car. If you want to keep the interior looking standard, I am sure there will be some standard head units gathering dust in owners garages, you could then look at this option:

You will need to know someone who is very good with a soldering iron !

This is the way I went and it works perfectly.
Hi thanks, I did look at this option as I do like the std look. If my head unit was fully functioning then I'd have probably gone for it. To source a std head unit and then invest in the mod kit I can get myself a decent double din for much less.

Hi Richard . Glad you made it onto this forum. So sad reading a thread about this car not being mine! Hopefully it provides you with as many years trouble free motoring as it gave me. Be warned, the radiator will break the day before you sell the car though and undermine the premises of how trouble free mechanically the car has been for you.lol

Look forward to reading any update threads, and thanks to you and your sister for making it a pleasant and trouble free sale.

Good to hear buddy.
My search wont start till the new year and im still toying with the idea of a VXR8, which would mean waiting till ive saved a load more. so for the while im one of "those" people who lurks in the forum without a car.

Im currently running a 106 1.1 zest *blows own head off*

Anyway, good luck with the custodianship of the mighty Ro.
