David'S8 - thanks but I somewhat prematurely purchased the Pioneer unit you see in the attachment in my first post! It just looks so good, and will suit my needs perfectly.
Ricky D - thanks for picking this one up
Not only am I jealous of your S8, but the head unit you're running encouraged me to do the same - it's factory fresh!
I thought that was the case - since I don't readily have the tools to cleanly trim the fascia, nor did I purchase any of the required patches to make it work, I will be booking in the work with a reputable company near me.
I'l update this when things are up and running!
