I know this has been discussed before because I've searched the forums and read up, but am not totally sure on all the details. But if we could just compile a final, definitive guide here for me and future posters asking this common question.
So I have a new shape punto, with a standard cassette player. I want to replace this with a Kenwood KDC7024 (cheapest I've found is £199.99 at Car Audio Direct).
Firstly, I've read about some tools to remove the existing radio, some sort of prongs to slip down each side? I've looked in Halfords but couldn't find them, probably because I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Any directions on using them when I get them?
Next, I've seen the replacement dash face in Halfords for £12.99, I assume this would be correct, and simple to fit?
I don't really want to have to hire anyone to fit it for me, and from what I've read the punto should be a pretty easy install with a simple block of wires, or atleast easy enough to work out for myself?
Any other particular tips or useful info I should be aware of when attempting this change?
Thanks for any replies.
