I finally found an answer on google groups that got me most of the way there. Oliver Gunnell is the person to thank!

To remove the radio from a K12 (new shape) you need to:
1.remove the rubber strip around doors, near a pillar panels.
2.pull off a pillar pannels
3.pull off little cap near windshield at front left
4.pull off the top of the dash, theyre may be still be a screw somewhere
5.unscrew two screws at the bottom of centre console
6.take out three 10mm bolts on top of headunit - u can see them from the top
7.it SHOULD slide out now - if not look for some more screws or bolts
8.if uve got the computer screen one, u need to unscrew that from the BIG
unit that comes out, the headunit comes out with the screen(or blanking
plate)
It works great. You do need to take the
whole top of the dash off or you cant get at the bolts.
Headunit slid in no problem - no size problems at all.
The problem now is that I bought the leads from Car audio direct http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/default.php?cPath=47_720_730
No power to the headunit at all. Either I am missing something pretty obvious or...
Good luck
Andy
