At a guess you'll have to take out the stereo unless you've got exceedingly bendy, telescopic fingers...

Autochangers that I've seen have a cable that goes into the back of the head unit with a DIN type plug on the end and there may be other connections as well (phono leads etc)

Try asking on the ICE forum...

Its pretty straight forward to do mate, & you will need to take the stereo out, or at least pull it forward so you can gain access to the back of it...

First you'll need to remove the surround that goes around the edge of the radio & the heating controls, you do this by sliding a panel lifting tool,( wedge or flat bladed screw driver will do as a last resort), down the side of the panel & lever outwards a little bit at a time. It's not screwed in, just held in by clips, 4 or 6 from memory. Prise a small bit at a time, being careful not to mark the edge of the trim. You'll find once it starts to ease forward, it comes off pretty easy..

Once thats off, you'll find some 10mm bolts(maybe 8mm) down each side of the radio, holding it in place, these are very easy to get at & remove.

You should then be able to pull the radio forward enough for you to be able to plug your multiplayer lead in.

Pretty straight forward really, you should have the radio out in 5 mins...

Hope this helps, Good Luck...

I think you may need to remove the cup holder first...

Take a look at Chiark's excellent web site for all the info:
