Having being offered a cracking quote on my daughter's 500 (2016 Pop Star) insurance, we went with Direct Line's DrivePlus policy. This includes a small black box to monitor the driver's performance.
We received the box which plugs into to diagnostic port of the car. Easy peasy we thought.
However, to get to the port one has to remove the coin holder part of the trim to the bottom right of the steering wheel. Once that's done, uncover the port and plug the box in.
Unfortunately the box is of such a size that one cannot now replace the trim with the coin holder
Tried calling the black box helpline but they are only open weekdays.
Wondered if anyone on here had experience of this and any solution and/or workarounds?
Worst case scenario is that we just put the trim cover somewhere safe until we change policy or don't have a black box requirement. A tad annoying though.
