I know this is a basic question but how do you remove or check the fuse for the radio in the engine compartment?
Its one of the ones in a yellow holder which can be pulled to disconnect but I can't seem to get it out to check.

radio died this morning when the cd eject button was pushed...any hints

nevermind, all solved, our 2yo decided the cd player looked like a good place to put loose change. CD player is no go but still got the radio...all for 70cents change!!

Your little tacker is probably not that mobile quite yet mate. You have all that to enjoy lol :badgrin::dancin::clap:They are lightning quick. If you turn around and they are not restrained (whilst the car is not going of course, parked etc handbrake off keys out in gear) they are in the front seat like a shot out of gun. Mr 3 old of ours can open car doors and get in. He is NEVER allowed anywhere near the cars when we are not there, but if we have our hands full carrying stuff he takes full advantage of the opportunity to try every button and lever etc he can get his hands on.

She was only in the front seat cause I was installing the reversing camera....ironic almost, all safe on the outside but allowed to roam loose on the inside.

Its the single slot, anyone know how easy it is to get replacement bits? imagine a complete new unit would be insanely expensive. Or does someone know of a good replacement unit that suits the grey/silver ES styling?

Get a double DIN aftermarket will look 1000 times better than the stock one

pretty good looking unit, do the steering wheel controls still work with an after market unit?

He said they do, but you also need another aftermarket gadget for that.
