Removing mk3 radio

[ski_tzo]

Any one know of any guides on how to remove the head unit?

Got one of the grom ipod connector thingys with a boot cable but it isnt working so im wondering if the cable going to the boot is actually plugged in!

there are two small cross head screws at the bottome of the face of the radio/heater contols on ether side, undo them and pull from the bottom and the face pops off. There is a wire connecting it to the radio itself which you pull up to disconnect. Then four cross head screws in each corner and you can then pull it out then. the plug you want to see plugd in is part green/yellow and blue

Got the radio out there but that plug was in ok

Anyone got any theories (apart from the obvious that the ipod kit isnt working) as to why it aint working

could be a earth or loose connection

should there be wires in the middle (green) one for the cd changer lead?

i have a pic if that helps but im in a rush so will attach later

no that looks right, think the cd changer bit is just the blue part of the plug
