I want the steering wheel controls and the dashboard display for the stereo to still operate correctly! It currently has the standard tape player and I'd like to install a CD player. Is it complicated to do? Would I need a professional to do it? Thanks!|||Halfords is all well and good , but there is a company out there that specialise in fitting stereos to the Vx cars, here is a link ,hope it helps .

If this is no good then Vx themselves can upgrade your stereo.|||buy a cd stereo from a dealer and its then dead easy to swap them round just need two pieces of wire to push into the holes in the side of old stereo|||i would say take it to a professional
at least that way you can have a warranty and you know its done right the first time!|||yeah, go to halfords(if you havent got the stereo yet, if you buy it from them they will fit it for free) bear in mind, if you have the dashboard display ( track num,radio station etc) it will stop working because you have got rid of the vauxhall stereo|||i'm pretty experienced with car audio just from personal work ive done with my car and i wouldnt touch that. there's alot of complicated things you have going on with the steering wheel relaying information to the stereo and i think its best you left that up to a professional. go check out circuit city, i believe they still do a promotion where if you buy a new stereo from them they will install it for free|||go to halford. explain this to them and they will give you the correct connection blocks. it all depends on the stereo you want to fit if the clock and steering Coulomb work. iv fitted a few players to an Astra and nether times have the clock etc work as the stereo that replaced the old 1 did not have the out put 4 the steering Coulomb. helfords is your best bet. they will fit it for you as well if you want. its not hard to your self im a women and mannaged it lol|||Fitting a radio to this car is an easy task, but i would always recommend a good independent dealer, forget halfrauds i see several cars a week with burnt out ecu's etc. they don't know jack, Lets not forget their past history, don't they sell bikes!!!.
A good dealer will be happy to fit this for you, if you buy it from them they will most likely fit it for free and show you how it works.
Vauxhall wiring is similar to most German makes, they often have the permanent and switched voltage in the opposite way, this results in the radio loosing its memory once you remove the key.
if you do attempt to try and fit yourself you will find that the red and yellow wires from the head unit will have bullet connectors to correct this.
Simply unplug them both and swap them over.
to test tune into a radio station, take out your key and wait a minute, then re-insert your key and if the radio resumes the station then all is OK.
There are no other worries with fitting to the Astra as the rest of the wiring is not used, but bear in mind that your top dash display will not display the radio information unless you spend a little more money on getting the right head unit and appropriate adaptors. at this point i would say definitely go to a specialist.
Good luck
