As promised when I recently joined. I said I would publish my experiences with dash removal to fit a Nokia phone kit. Also to look at the possibility of fitting sat nav where the cubby hole is.
Removal of the dash plastic bits is fairly easy and can be done in a couple of mins, if you follow some of the handy tips on this forum.
I fitted a Nokia CK-7W without too many dramas.
After hunting for power on the existing cables, I found a permanent live going to the radio (brown/red) and a ground cable (black/yellow) also found an ign. live (rare in these days of the 'data bus') on the heater control just below the radio (white/orange).
For anyone thinking of using these, I have to emphasize I have not confirmed these cables by reference to a manual, but it seems to work OK and has for about a week now.

Here is the dash with the surround removed

There was a thread regarding a Garmin satnav which fitted the cubby hole almost exactly - might be a 1690 I think, with the exception that the power button at the top needed removing.
I've gone with a Garmin 2340, which doesn't fit exactly, but sits nicely inside the cubby and is easily removable for security purposes. I took power direct from the glovebox fuse box with a blade fuse connector and wired in a 12v socket as per another thread from the forum.

Pete69, many thanks for the info. I have found it through the link and have the necessary details Ralph
