Keira,

Pull off the surround around the gear lever, pull off the facia that has the heating knobs etc. then you will see four sizeable philips screws. Undo those and the stereo comes out. Pull out the connector, and place old stereo to the side (bin). Ensure that you but a block connector for your new stereo/car type (available from Halfrauds) into the back of the stereo and connect to the feed in the car. Make sure you attach the arial connector into the back of the stereo and put everything back together
