f*** me your with the times arent you. Did it replace your 8 track?

If you can install it yourself, Argos of all places aren't that over priced, really. They just destroy you on installation charges if you can't do it yourself

A set of release keys will cost about 5 notes in Halfords to get the old deck out, the new one should come with them, and ISO block/ISO antenna adapters, if required, are about 3 quid apeice but you shouldn't need either, really.

Just don't buy release keys dressed like a chav

Damn, I thought this was where to buy one. Never mind, the rest of my post stands. Its way cheaper to do it yourself, and at worst you'll be looking at 25 quid in parts - release keys, two adapters, replacement fascia - but thats only if your car has a wanky radio surround.

I will, its not that hard top put in a radio yourself.

 

[algie]

I reckon all you need to do is remove the old one and put the new one in.I don't think you will need any extra wiring

I'm willing to bet that you can just plug it straight in as your car and as it is fairly new and you have a new unit.Unless you have a cd changer as well then i'm not to sure.Remove the old one and have a look at the wiring.Give it a go it's simple.Your car doesn't have controls on the steering wheel for the radio does it?

2001 Punto's use ISO blocks and a non-ISO antenna connector that Halfords sell a convertor for for 2.99; and use either Blaupunkt or Bendy Blaupunkt release keys. You can make the latter by bending the former if they haven't got them in stock

One thing though is that the cavity for the player is very, very short - you may have to force the wiring down the sides and really push the headunit in.
