Removing the factory radio:
Start by releasing and gently removing the coloured trim panel that runs along the top of the glovebox once removed, the coloured trim that runs along the top of the radio must also be removed. Remove the remaining 2 torx screws just above the radio to remove it.

A vehicle's dashboard is the focal point of the entire interior, car manufacturers therefore go to great lengths to ensure it looks stylish and innovative. That is all well and good until you want to upgrade the factory radio to a new aftermarket stereo. Alongside the necessary wiring adaptors Celsus provide fascia plates, plastic surrounds that sit around an aftermarket stereo and neatly match the original vehicle dash.

Aftermarket stereos come in three sizes: single DIN, double DIN and double ISO. All three are the same width, approximately 180mm, but the height differs. Single DIN radios are approximately 50mm high while double DIN and double ISO are twice that at around 100mm. Double DIN and double ISO stereos are the same, but the cages supplied with them have different heights of 103mm and 113mm respectively.
