FAO anyone replacing 200 head unit

[Carl Pearce]

It can be a nightmare!

I ended up having to take the glove box out as the head unit wiring loom was stuffed behind part of the trim behind the dash so when pulling it out it wouldn't budge after 3 - 4inches!!

Luckily its not too bad removing the glove box... six torx screws and a lot of pulling at trim!.

Yes I have but I am waiting on

which will also allow the steering controls to work.

Heads up display doesn't bother me as the head unit shows enough info...

A guide on removing the glovebox would be useful, I may need to remove mine soon.
