astra with a multi purpose display just above the radio .
this displays radio channel etc. but also in car temp etc.
just bought cd radio to fit in the car.
1/ can i replace the original radio cassete without disabling the
temperature/clock etc.?
2/ if i can, how do i get the radio out seeing as the correct special
tools don't seem to be unlocking/grabbing the unit.
thanks in advance

Any unit should work (standard iso connectors). You will retain the date,
time & temp display - but it will not display the RDS info from the
radio/cd
etc. To do this you need to buy a Sony or Kenwood unit & special adaptor.

That helps a lot thanks MArk, it means it's worth persevering with the
extraction....i've removed the grub screws and had a go with the correct
clips (two makes) but the hidden clips don't seem to be 'unclipping'.
