4 keys inserted into the slots as shown below - flat parts of tools facing outwards.

Be awate that the keys can be a bit tight and can't be removed fron the radio until it's clear of the fascia - i found it was easiest to use a screwdriver to lift the spring out of the key notches.
The cable connector is a quadlock at the back of the radio- lift the catch and slide free from the radio - needs a bit of jiggling as it can be tight.
Don't forget the aerial cable too - both removing and refitting - a pain if you put the radio back in and find you forgot it, believe me i've done it.

The connector block will look pretty much like this, the one to replace has only 3 wires going to it (where the green c block is shown but will not likely be green but black or white.

There's a small catch to one side to release the c block.
If there is one already in there you can remove it and replace it with the new one.
Run cable to mounting point using the cable ties supplied but not too tight so as to allow removal of the radio - too tight and everything will snag and pull.
Drill hole for aux plug and it clips into place - do not push the plug parts together before mounting or you will never get them apart again without having to destroy it, the locking clips are under a sleeve on the plug and once clipped together lock in place.
Hope i've been helpful and best of luck.
