New radio fitting

[taff141177]

I'm hopefully going to get a new stereo for my mk1 leon I was wondering if any one has fitted there own and I you needed any extra bits and will I need a new surround for the stereo to fit into also is it easy to do or should I just let halfords do it ?

Remember to put the cage through the new fascia surround, before you fit it to the dash.

what to silver key things are using? use the original seat ones not the one out the box of your new headunit!

Did you manage to get this sorted and get your new stereo in?

Insert a large cable tie into each slot on the bottom edge of the radio then pull, works spot on if the correct tool isnt avalible.
