I want to get the following done:

:: A digital radio taken out of a Ford Fiesta
:: A "normal" radio taken out of a Seat Ibiza
:: A digital radio put into a Seat Ibiza

I got a quote from Halfords that I thought was laughable. Would anyone have any idea what I might pay for that?

Google on ebay the gadget for removing them. Cost me £1.75 delivered. Not sure how to refit this but Halfords will charge you £20 min for 1 radio removal.

I didn't have a code when I bought my Scenic, I bought the tools to remove the radio and replace it. Luckily I removed the radio and someone had written the code on it :-)

should be very very simple.

research which removal tool you need for the specific models.

of circular then a thick nail or rivet will suffice.

one problem you may get is the sockets not matching up. if this is the case then there will be a "ford to seat" loom or whatever which will just plug into each.

i don't know about the aeriels on digi radios but assume it would be reasonably simple to work out when looking at the two radios side by side.

The fella quoted me £60 for the whole job. Absolute daylight robbery. I wouldn't mind, but he asked me if I'd bought the radio from Halfords and I said I had. The thieving twunt was probably gonna try to charge me even more if I said I hadn't.

I phoned halford's asking for these tools. They said they sell them for £10 or summat and also said they'd remove the radio for £20 (the cheeky bastewards. I bought them off ebay and they arrived in 3 days.

is this a fishing fred ?


radios have 'holes' maybe two each side that fit a screwdriver , its all about pushing the locking clip.

the back of radios are all the same.

It's not a fishing fred, IS.

:: I am utterly impractical. I struggle to fasten my laces, let alone fit/disconnect car radios.
:: To fit a digital radio, you have to fit a wire that goes behind the dashboard.
