    Your first mistake was going to Halfords. ;)

    The second mistake was listening to some shaved monkey who works for halfords :p

    only fuse i can find to be blown is the cigarette lighter, plugged original radio back in and its getting power, A local installer says he will install the unit for £70. is this good value for money?
