Want to install Yatour USB stick player on 2005 SXE

Hi,

I have bought one of these units but can't find any resources about how to remove the centre dash board.

This link looked promising but looks like the url format of this site has changed since it was posted:

Has anyone else tried to fit one of these? The instructions say you need to hook into 12V and switched 12V. I haven't done anything like that since I was a kid! Do people still use those blue splice clip things?

Thanks
 
Sorry just realised your question too - I fitted one of these to my 2003 SXE and it was painless. Removing the fascia was easier on mine though as the previous owner had already snapped it a bit to add a Nokia handsfree kit.

Luckily I was able to use the 12v feed from that very handsfree kit, although you'd probably get away with taking it from the cigarette lighter as that Yatour doesn't draw much current.
 
I couldn't find any stuff about removing the dash in that thread.
This thread has a procedure but I tugged as hard as I dare at step 2 to no avail:
http://www.almeraownersclub.com/threads/dashboard-screen-on-almera-2003-removal.30738/#post-340892

It says:
first thing to do is take out the gear surround
2nd thing is rip off the plastic trim next to the CD player (side of the facia) (bag hanger thing) you will need to pull it and will upclip

Has anyone tried this? I'm not sure if he means pull the bag hanger thing off? I though it more likely that the bag hanger thing is supposed to be a release for the dash?

Thanks

Hi,
I've removed that section easily enough, just pull out the bag hanger to the left as if to use it, then pull the facia outwards away from the dash using the slot that the opened bag hanger leaves, should pop right off
