Oh, also the tuner does not work for the radio.. i have no idea where i plug it into as it does not seem to fit the other wire coming off the stereo.. the saxo tuner is virtually flat and the bit that comes off the stereo is sort of like a headphone cable but larger.

Any idea how to sort that out as well?

Okay awesome, thank you, done that.. but now i have the problem with the radio tuner.. the wire from a saxo is a round small connection, yet on the HU i have a large deep long connector that does not fit the tuner as it is too small.

Any way around that?

Yes mate, you will need a stereo aerial adaptor, halfords and other audio places will sell them.

Look like this.

Most new headunits come with one of these in the box.
