i speak before i think
Someone told me the stock head units in vr/vs are a bastard to remove cos there is a screw in the back of them holding them in or something along those lines? Is this right or were they bulls#$%ing me?

No screws holding at the back (from the ones I have done). The most complicated part is removing the interior trim afaik.
Yeah i read that. it already has an aftermarket HU in it though. I've done aftermarket ones and it was easy, but i heard about stock ones being hard and thought it might be easier to just pay the $80 to get a new one installed.
My base model Lexcen VN had the screws at the back (facing forward). As far as I know all VN/VP/VR models were the same when standard. My sister in law's VN Exec was also the same but an installer had cut the bracket.
If you have an 8mm flat spanner (no bends) it makes it easier but due to lack of movement it takes time. I didn't have a spanner and it took ages.
Most shops just cut this part of the bracket off rather than try to unscrew it.
