Ash Tray holder removal and Radio removal help required

[bjc_uk]

Hi, hope u can help me with this. Have done a search and can't find an easy how to thread!

I want to fit my mp3 player into the ash tray as i saw on here someone had done it and it looks great. How do i remove the ash tray whole unit so i can drill through the back for my wire to go through. Note- i want the whole thing out, not jus the little ash tray itself!!

Also, my CD changer in the glove compartment must have a loose wire as the left spker keeps goin in and out but when i push the radio in a bit it clicks back on...How do i remove the radio HU.

Thanks

Reason is I have the HU from my old LCR it plays Mp3' and has a front aux in, Also do a search on here and you will find that replacing the HU makes the sound ten times better, BTW i'm only looking for around £65 del, believe me ditch the original HU.

same as this but dark grey not silver http://www.caraudio4less.co.uk/images/SONY-CDX-GT300S.jpg

the cigrette power is always on 24/7, recommend you tap in to ignition of the head unit, so when the key is turned it should power on.
