I havent recieved it yet, but how does my headunit fix into the radio housing space. Does is does slide in and hold itself there, or does it require a special fixing of some sort to stop it wobbling about ?

Oh, and also, how do I find out if I have a permanent live ?
Because my hu and clock doesnt seem to be saving its settings, and ive used a circuit testing pen on the ISO block connections, and it only lights up on one of them, rather than two.

you need the cage that the radio fits in to fit in the console first and then slide the HU into the cage.

as for a permnanent live if your clock isnt saving then it probably hasnt got one.

run a wire of correct gauge to a permanent live from the fuse box in the car(from the perm live obviously) this is of course if you do not have factory wiring for a stereo.

as mini boo says... a cage pushed in and lifting all the locking tabs will hold it in place..

as for the perm live..

again as miniboo says.. need to take a feed from the positive constant feed from the fuse box.. and run down inside to the iso block.
