No problem fitting an after market radio/cd as long as its wired in correctly, there is plenty of threads on here with advice to help. If you want to fit a factory radio you will have to have it coded to your vin number to work then its plug and play. You can pick them up for 30/40 quid coded. Not sure on the age of your motor but there was only 2 models of radio used just do a little research to see which will fit.

It's a 2002. any idea why it says too hot. I'm guessing it's too hot but why there's also a little hole set back into the dash below the radio that will fit a cd player can I just plug it in there or do I have to disconnect radio and use those wires
