Which hifi do you have, basic or burmester? That will dictate head unit or separate amp.

It's the very basic system with the smaller screen (no satnav etc)

I believe in the basic system that the amp is built into the head unit therefore removal of the centre console would be required as the unit is behind that.

Here's an Audio20 car. Nothing there. Empty...
Has anyone managed to find the stock amp in an Audio20 car?
