Thanks Macky, that helps alot. 8-)

Can you take two more photos for me when you have time?. :oops: One from underneath the unit so I know where the mounting points are and also one from the boot lid so I know where the location of the unit is against the parcel shelf.

I already have the cage :twisted: 8-)

I tried to rep you but I can't for some reason. :|

That's brilliant mate. That helps me a lot. I'll try and get that thing on the car tomorrow. :D

One question! Do you still have the OEM stereo?

I've seen others car without the OEM stereo but the screen still works. :?

Yeah, i still use the OEM stereo. Quite a good sound off it but i hate the amber/tape look :lol:

I had bought a Kenwood stereo and had all these problems fitting it so that's how i know the problems you are experiencing!

I have an aftermarket stereo and mine works fine. That sat nav unit in the boot looks a bit different to mine. I will check later on if I get chance before I go on holiday.

Update time:

I found all the missing wire, they were hidden behind one of the plastic trim. :D

Connected them all up to my sat nav unit:

Then connected up the OEM stereo:

All the wires are connected now. BUT the tv screen still doesn't work. :|

Think I need a new screen. :evil:
