Well it has been a while (LOL at saying it would take a weekend) but I have finally completed the journey into getting JUST the head unit installed.
It was quite easy using the jigsaw to take off the top of the steel cage, and it was a really tight squeeze with the JVC cage fitting inside even after that.

I live a busy life, and I'm on annual leave at the moment, so messing around with the car is high on my list of priorities.

Here is a picture of the final result of the install of the head unit. I'm really happy with it, the only thing which I don't like about it is that I can't change the colour, so it is red, while everything else is either blue or green.
The thing I like most about my head unit is that it doesn't stand out, and looks pretty standard.



As for the lack of an external antenna I'm pretty stumped on this one. I plugged the antenna wire in, and I'm able to pick up like 5 or 6 stations, but definitely not the full range of FM stations, so my guess is that at some point along the cable it has been cut and/or hidden inside some random area.

I'll definitely find it at some point.

Next on my task list (in terms of car audio) is to install the rear 6 x 9 speakers.
