I haven't changed the radio yet thats the one that came with the car, and it looks great but the only thing wrong with it is that its just a bog standard Radio/cd player its not even mp3 compatible, i dont listen to the radio and i play my music through a sd card so the new one i have has got an sd card and usb slot in it, and will be fitted on the 20 July, at the moment im using an mp3 modulator which plugs into the 12V socket and plays through radio, which is great, but im fed up with all the wires on show so now that i will only have the wires for the sat nav when i use it.
Hope you get your car soon, there are excellent to drive, a lot better than my old car a Ford KA3.
What do the new Actives have? Got a 2004 Active that is a bit lacking.
They got ABS? Remote C/L?

I dont know what is on the 2004 panda as this is my first panda i have owned, only driven two fords before, first car was Ford Fiesta Popular plus 1.1 had that for about 8 years then in 2000 i got a Ford KA3.

Thats what i thought, thats the same radio as in the pictures on the fiat website so was expecting that, but when it came it wasn't, i think the one that came with the car was nicer looking just ashame thats it just a standard CD/Radio player.
Have you had a delivery date yet ?

No delivery date yet my dealer has not contacted me once for any type of update... kind of expect this from the flagship fiat Central London showroom!
I hope my radio will be the same as yours... result ! saves me buying the facia when putting in my own. I hate the radio on the website

I hope it is, and hope you get a delivery date very soon.

Thanks for posting the pics, I'm still waiting for the same car after being told I should have it by mid July. I've never driven one of these before (besides the test drive) so it will be interesting. I'm also still waiting for a response since mid June as to is there any way to plug in a sat nav as there's no cigarette lighter, does anyone have a solution?

The only way i know off is a 12v outlet, i had the smokers pack put on to mine which cost me an additional £39 but worth if you are not able to insert one yourself. But im sure any garage will be able to do this for you at a cost of course!
finally got the car today, i drove a few miles from the dealership and i'm very happy with it. not so sure about the colour though, kinda glad i can't see while i'm inside but i'm sure it'll grow on me. it was too late to ask for the smokers kit so i'm going to buy a home charger until i can get the 12v fitted. does anyone know if this is a good choice for the garmin 205wt?
