Great. So I'm being deliberately stopped from doing something trivially 
easy just so Renault can make more profit. *sigh*

I wouldn't mind, but the stereo isn't replaceable. It's one of these 
units that's welded to the dashboard. It's nice that it matches the 
interior and everything (and it has things like satelite controls, and a 
feature where it turns the volume up when you reach a certain speed), 
but on the other hand it means you can *only* install one of the 4 
models of stereo that Renault sell. And it's so expensive that you might 
as well buy an entire new car; much cheaper than paying for an 
authorised dealer to install an authorised unit.

And all because they didn't include a 12p audio socket...
