The other alternative is to remove the ash tray and see if you can get the wires and the heater control wires around the back or on top/bottom of the stereo. If you have a dash tidy remove and go in via the ash tray hole. I had the same problem and just carefully moved all the wires underneath the stereo and saved myself the money of buying the surround. Hope that helps.

Hiya Ken,

What Dazzler441 said... I fitted my new head unit recently & took some piccies. I found the same issue with the heater ducting. Here's a link to my blog post on it just in case it helps a bit :) http://chesneybus.blogspot.co.uk/2012_0 ... e.html?m=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Another vote for working from above via the ash tray housing. I got an extra half inch that way and, as we all know, half an inch counts.
