Yeah thats what I had to do with the runners, no idea why I am keeping the old head unit as it wont fit securely in the car but ya never know....

Hello Rich306, what a great info! Thank You!

I have just purchased the same radio (at least it looks like it - Sony WX-GT90BT) and on your pictures you've got a very nice fit around the radio when installed. Could you provide info with regards to the kind/brand hardware you've used in your installation? (cage, bezel)
Any info greatly appreciated!

Hello mate,
First of all thanks to all of you for the replies!

I used the standard cage that I got with the sony head unit, everything I had there was supplied with the stereo aside from the wiring harness itself.

If I am honest mate, it requires time and patience to cut down the inner rails for the cage to sit in tight, holding it in is purely by bending the cage 'pins' in where you can.

Give it a shot and yours should sit in sweet post some photos when done of your completed work, any dramas then don't hesitate to PM me.

Good luck!

Just saw this thread - awesome stuff

Just in case nobody's asked this already.... the previous owner had left a yellow wire inserted (rather loosely) into the otherwise unused top right (as you look at the back of the HU) opening in the green connector. Just wondering what that might have been for? Is it the switched input for a hands free kit maybe? If so, I'm also wondering if there was other necessary wiring for that, and he pulled them out before I got there... and if so, I'm wondering if it's possible to hack it to work with any aux input??
