Hi all, is this a difficult job? Theres no 'AUX' socket! Theres plenty of Youtube vids, but they are mostly generic! cheers

I would think your best option is a Pure Highway dab fm adaptor , which will play through the existing radio . To replace the existing radio with something else can get quite involved.

Thanks, just had a look, and they work with the existing stereo, which is a MUST, as its the original. Cheers

Not clear if it requires an AUX jack socket though!

Possibly not . I think they are all wireless , but you will need a power source and an additional stick on aerial.

there may very well be an Aux on the back of the head unit or possibly in the glove compartment.

UPDATE! PROBLEM IS SORTED! was the bonnet sensor switch that was the issue! I disconnected it, no more issues, no lights or message on dash! When i opened bonnet before, it would still remain 'flush', it wouldn't pop up a little, which is what made me suspicious of it!
