    Yes there is a guide here,

    basically you will also need the DAB aerial parts along with the stereo for the digital stations to work. he included the parts list and Finis codes in the link

    I fitted a ford/sony 6 disc one to mine and a ford dab aerial. I then upgraded to a pioneer dab3500 kit but went back to the ford unit as it did the job for me.

    fitting is easy peasy. you don't need to buy the ford aerial and can buy a good amplified jobbie from dabonwheels.
