Especially the instrument cluster!Had a sneaky quick look and it doesn't look like I have any free slots on the back of the head unit for the aerial power but there is a wire with "Ant.Cont" on it, with a bit of tape on it. Similar to the steering remote wire I used. Could that be used?

What direction are we going? The aerial (blue) wire, does it get it's feed from the head unit or the power source (the car's main wiring). I'm confused. I'll get a photo in the morning, but looking at you pic, and the rest of the wires on both blocks are the same, but my wiring has a solid blue wire already in situ.
I have taken my stereo out this morning and took some pics 92FCEC5D-FC25-4470-9415-73132D2050E5 by ds261, on Flickr13D7D8CD-8E45-48B2-AAE1-32B25CE8A8BD by ds261, on Flickr
Yep, found the available slot and it went in fine... thanks for the pictures AND the encouragement!So here's where we're at:I'm quite pleased with that, particularly the fit.Hardest part? Undoubtedly the a-pillar trim refit. Horrible.
