I want to replace the original radio/cassette on my 99 306 HDi LX, probably with a Sony DXS2000.
Anyone experience of replacing the orignial unit? Do I need a special tool to remove it? I understand I'll need to get a facia panel to match the original, but what about connecting up the new unit? Easy enough for a complete novice?

I went to my Pug dealer, and he removed the HU with 2 special tools (2 thin bits of metal strip) for free!
You can get a facia adaptor from Halfords.
Connecting up is a breeze, they have standard ISO connectors on the back. If you want to keep the steering column/wheel functions, you'll need a control adaptor (about £25), also available from Halfords .

Two thin strips of metal required - about 10mm across - slip them into the 2 slots at the lower edge of the radio - get it right and it'll slip out.

You can buy these removal tools from Halfords also, cost about £4. If you're not sure which ones to get just ask somebody in there, usually quite helpful.
