Just wanted to say thanks for the detailed pictures and info on taking apart the dash. I replaced the single player with a 6cd player and XM in my gf's car. Couldn't have been easier. I didn't have to take apart the leather handle after I unbolted them from the car. My hint it was going to be easy was when the chrome rings simply came off. Are the designers THAT familiar with Lego that they now design cars this way? One word to add though - I am certain almost everyone knows this but just in case - take off the ground to your battery before starting. It would be unfortunate if a wire crossed or touched metal when it shouldn't.
Anyway I am grateful for the knowledge and now just have to get the unlock code for it. Does anyone know if this will be trouble? I bought the player off eBay. I had one reply earlier that said the dealer does it pretty quickly but read another that there had to be paperwork etc.
