As to getting the radio in fully, I seem to remember just pushing it in and waggling about till it fitted. It might be the plug hitting something.

Post by: Brikhead on 09 August 2010, 00:30:53: My pre-facelift put up a bit of a struggle when I tried to fit a Pioneer stereo in to it. The Omega has a lot of 'stuff' to fit onto, and behind, the dash board and it doesn't leave much room for non standard additions.

Usually you will find an extra section attached to the stereo loom that can be unplugged and disposed of, this allows more room to push home the new stereo...
