    The systems back up to £39, is it still worth it? Is there anywhere I can get one for £29?

    Typed in 'car stereo blanking plate' and nothing shows up - any other ideas?

    What car are you trying to find it for?

    For example, if I was wanting one for a fiesta, putting in this "ford stereo fascia" gets me what I was after... though I'm lucky enough to have a 1 din hole in my renault anyway. :)

    Best of luck!

    C'mon, show some imagination. Make the effort. Would you like one of us to come round and fit it?

    One search, no joy. I'll ask someone else what to do.... :)

    Found this one

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Skoda-Fabia-stereo-fascia-plate-Wiring-adaptor-Keys_W0QQitemZ330116920153QQihZ014QQcategoryZ108815QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem

    Trying to fit it into a Skoda Fabia.

    Does anyone know what the ISO lead is that comes with this. I know I need a block/lead to fit it, but this lead doesn't say it is stereo specific?

    Does anyone know the best place to get this lead - I think I will end up in Halfords else?

    Found this

    http://www.autoleads.co.uk/excel/Complete_Car_Database.zip

    which lists the Facia as FP-20-00, which I have checked is the correct one as shown. Also the antenna adaptor is part PC5-52, again correct. But it doesn't list what ISO lead it is.

    It does say the 'standard harness' is PC2-69-4, which looks like the lead in the ebay add. But is this the lead that is already in the Fabia (ie the one the original stereo fitted into)or the one I need to fit the stereo?

    Hmm...does anyone know what the noise is when in FM radio mode?
    I mean, it keeps putting a strange pulse noise every so often...

    Try pressing the AF button (I think it is). It's the FM tuner trying to find a stronger signal every 5-10 secs. Presssing the button stops it doing that and stops the noise.
