They get confused unless you drive a Fiesta though

Theirs will fit but strange things seem to scare them.

If you pop off the glovebox lid, you can get an arm up behind the stereo to help it out from behind.

sound advice - is this from experience saves the cut hands!!!!

Hmmm...

It IS from experience. But I can't guarantee it will save any cut hands. I looked like I'd been scrapping with Edward Scissorhands the other week.

Aah yes but you went that step further which is guaranteed digit destruction by swapping CC panel & stereo too Dave It took me weeks to recover from doing that one

Thanks again for all the posts. I have my eye on a Sony one, which ticks all the boxes. I dont even have to persuade my better half cos it was her idea. Now where is my hammer?....I'm sure the kids have some money in their piggy banks

Just don't give them the remote control?!!! Seriously, it does have its uses. If my husband is driving, I occasionaly sit in the back with His Lordship mainly to stop him playing with the blinds and the heating but it means that I can mess about with the radio/CD player rather than ask my husband to do it. Also, on the exceptionally rare occasions when I am relaxing in the Bongo and I have the seats in sofa/recliner mode (back seats reclined slightly, feet on middle seats) the remote really comes into its own.

Good idea...I can just sit in the back, beer in one hand copy of The Beano in the other , remote in my top pocket....ah wonderful...perfect way to travel.

Hi, my daughter's got the sony GT430u in her nissan and it blows out a fabulous sound. Thinking bout getting the same for the bongo when our present one gives up the ghost. What ever you get 'ENJOY'
