Thanks for the replies. As a non cockknocker I will certainly be looking at the Blaupunkt but not confident enought to self fit.
Hold the top of the radio door and give it a yank towards the gear knob, comes away pretty easily.
Undo the couple of screws down each side of the head unit and pull it out.
Remove the connectors from the back of the head unit.
Connect the new head unit and screw back in.
Refit the radio door and jobs done.

That may have worked for you Ade, but it can cause damage to the door and cause scratching. Better to follow Lucid's instructions and tape up a flat screwdriver and to work around the top fo the stereo surround (not the stereo itself) to gently pop out the top catches, then work your way around the surround.

I think there will be a few people on here (me included) that would like to know how you fit it, in particular the DAB aerial

Head Unit should be straight forward. I've got the Honda-to-ISO convertor already. Only thing I am missing at the moment is the dashboard control interface. Intending to follow Shiskine's example (when I can get round to it).
I've changed the door speakers for some 2-way ones.
I've got a pair of Infinity Kappa tweeters. Anyone know if these are any good & how & where I can fit them, and what other bits (crossover ?) I might need ?

Is that the one that it comes with, or have you got a separate one?
I have the interior glass fit type, often referred to as an in-screen aerial. You can see it in my pic near the top of the thread. Works fine and so discreet you don't notice it ...

Woodstock doesn't come with a standard aerial. You can choose between a separate DAB aerial (body fit, exterior glass mount, or interior glass mount) or a dual DAB/FM aerial to replace your existing beesting.

Also, found a brand new Woodstock DAB 54 on eBay for 279.99 + 10.00 P&P - this seems much cheaper than the shops, (circa 350.00) - what do we reckon, OK or dodgy?
