skyman Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Hi Alz, Just found your post. I'm keen to do this conversion myself on a Fiesta. There seems to be more to it than meets the eye. How is it that programming is involved? And also how did you manage the fitting of the new screen and supply of the necessary connectors etc. In fact I've a number of questions!! Can we make contact by phone (if that is easier?). Would you be prepared to reply off line to skyguard33-register@yahoo.co.uk with a contact number?? Look forward to hearing - thanks.
