No need to touch the ***** or stereo mate just undo a few screws and undo the power cable clips and the fascia comes off easy 

Can't remember what model but it went in no probs,I am well pleased with it. It has a tv option but I chose not to connect it up cos it means a big telescopic extra ariel to
be fitted to the dash !! Other than that tho nice sound, good pic on DVD and looks smart and it's all touch screen.

Yeah they do look good. Thinking about putting one into my hawkeye although I had heard there were fitting issues so that's good to hear. Cheers

Will do, if it's any good or might be a case of ripping it all off!

Finding the driver side electric window bit the most difficult. It's all the holes. Is it best to stick it then cut holes out? And should I use a scalpel?

Yes mate they pop off, use a flat head screwdriver to get behind them. And yes I fitted the wrap over the switches and I used a scalpel to cut the holes out, push around the edge with your finger first and you can see the edge to cut.
Hope this helps ?

Ps only a suggestion but pop your blank switches out by the handbrake and turn them around so all the carbon fiber lines are going in the same direction 
