Discovery
I must admit, I didn't realise the grey ones existed, so I accidentally bought a grey one. After an hour or so of fiddling, I swapped the facia on the black 'Premium Sound System' to the 'new' grey unit. Not as simple as I would have thought, but as long as you remove the ribbon cable carefully and put it in the back of the display, you'll be fine.
The older black models need fine pliers to remove the circuit board, which is separate from the display, but the newer ones seem to almost fall out complete with the back once you remove the side clips.
Anyway, all sorted and working. My problem was a progressively worse CD reading which would only work on long journeys, and a tired cassette player which has a failed belt. I suspect that could be fixed, but the CD player was not for saving. The radio wasn't great either. For me, a working radio is a must to cover up the sound of the engine (diesel)
Anyway - might help someoone.
