Hello!
Sorry if this has been covered before, but I just tried a search and couldn't find anything really similar (it might just be because I'm not quite sure how to use the search yet, though).
Basically, I bought a new Head Unit for my Panda a few days ago that came with a fitting voucher, but after checking all of my local Halfords garages, not one of them within a 20 mile radius of me seem to actually do fitting, despite their website telling me they did :bang:
So I'm left with either fitting it myself, or getting someone else to do it for me.
How easy are the Panda radios to change? I've got a 1.1 Active Eco (60 plate), and I'm trying to fit a Parrot RKi8400. I noticed it's not a specific Panda stereo, instead being some generic Blaupunkt thing, so I figure it'll have standard connections, would that be right?
Also, as it's a Parrot HU, it's got some Handsfree stuff too, so it comes with a microphone and whatnot. Where would be the best places to fit the microphone, and is it easy to do?
I helped my dad change the radio in our old Rover a while back, so I've sort of got radio-changing experience, but I guess that the radios in a new Panda are going to be a bit different to that of a 20-year old Rover.
Thanks in advance
