Is it about time we started to fit the kit right?
I think so too!
Start at the easy end, with the wiring loom provided straighten it out
with the display place this in the location you want. I was happy for mine to sit under my tax disc
Run the wire down the side of the dashboard between this seal
Now you need to move the carpet out the way so
A - remove the plastic kick sill trim, there are 2 screws holding this in place. remove screws and pop up
B - There is a big plastic lug that holds the carpet up near the door seals and dashboard, carefully tease this out with pliers
With the carpet out the way i got the cable to hide in the big connector block there
Then along the sills wiring loom. I clipped mine in the cables, keeps it out of harms way
Right time to get the cable to hide and into the boot
Lift the rear seats up and to the right hand side feed a straightened out coat hanger down till it appears in the sill area
Once its found its way down - Tape the wire to the hanger
Dont tape the connector, we dont want to pull on the connector, just the wire
Gently wiggle and pull to retrieve the wiring to the under-seat position
Next to get it into the boot
Pop the boot lid
There are 2x plastic trim clips to remove to allow the carpet to be lifted with ease#
Tease these gently with pliers (i cheated and used wire cutters to tease them out)
Same story as the sill movement
Feed the wire hanger under the carpet into the rear seat area
Tape the wire to the hanger and gently pull through
At this point it'd be far and safe to say its okay to refit the front carpet and trim
And to put the rear seat back down - Ensure the anchor points don't get stuck under the seats tho
