Thanks for the info!
I will have a fiddle with it all tomorow. When you say slip a screwdriver down the side, could i do this through the column that has already been cut into the system? (Just above the red dot in the second picture down.)?
I am sure the head units are both the same size, below are pictures showing the stereo and the connections coming from the back of it. Do you think this will fit?
As for speakers, i want some decent quality speakers capable of a loud noise for a good price.
Cheers,
Josh.

do not put a screwdriver in the slot you described this is for the face off to clip into. I mean put a screwdriver between the unit and the bare metal casing surrounding it. the way it was fitted was to fit the casing first and the the stereo slid inside it. The white connector is for speakers although I cant make out haw many wires is going to it is the unit stereo/quad/what? could be a bypass or could be an additional. the main block connector looks like it was wired straight into the loom or could be multichanger.its different from what my unit plugged into on mine both the JVC and the Xplod had a plug that went right into the back of the unit itself next to a 15amp fuse. at the front of the jimny next to the pedals and on the corresponding passenger side ther is no depth at all so forget about trying to get any bass out of there. after much searching I put a pair of 50W sony xplod 3.5" (about £20.00) in there for high frequency, on a 4 speaker system, better news behind the seats as there is more depth so great for mid range to bass, although the hole that is cut is only for 3.5" speakers there is plenty of room to widen it I couldnt find where the speaker cable that is already in there went so I had to wire new cable under the carpet if you find out where it terminates at the head unit end let me know cheers

Hello again,
Colin, I'm not suggesting you are a thief, but I still would keep screwdrivers in the toolbox for this job, Halfords sell the right removal tools for the Kenwood you are removing and they won't mark your dash like a screwdriver might.
I have used the screwdriver method before and even though I was being careful, I still marked the dash.
Sorry to disagree Colin but if a jobs worth doing and all that...
