(I can't remember em all) Then carefully pry the bezel off. It's mounted with spring/post type doo-dads. Start with the lower bezel, as it overlaps the upper trim.

After the bezel is off, look at the few screws on either side of what you wanna remove, & the rest will become obvious...:yesgray:.:_wrench:

For a minute I thought English was your second language... "spring/post type doo-dads"... If it comes out in one piece you can call round and pick it up any-time.... I'll even buy you a beer... you couldn't bring me the Curt hitch on sale right now while you're at it???

Since "thingy" appeared in your post, I thought it polite to reciprocate in your native tongue...:yesgray:

Did you sort this mate?

You need to take the fascia off with the air grills, then there are 4 screws holding the screen in. I had to make up a harness addapter as i couldnt find anything to match the VX, it has the wrong type

YES! There is a sneaky virtical screw inside the head unit reveal! You'll need a stubby philips screw driver. The rest is clips but it comes out upperpart first. Just go gently as the plastic is a little brittle

You need to undo the dash surround as well as its all part of it - all in there are about 13 screws - then one removed the radio is held in place with four silver screws -
you can use a ford escort fillin panel for the UK radio - from Halfrauds - and then 2 of the original radio brackets screwed to the sides of the radio - line it up then tighten them - pikeys can't get it out then as it isn't in with keys but screws
cheers
