Fuse is pictured here, the socket I simply put on a flying lead, if its a USB you need then don't bother with the cigar socket just take the wires straight from the fuse to the USB socket pictured earlier.

I did mine using a piggyback fuse. Works a treat and unplugs easily in case you ever want to remove 2012 DISCOVERY 4 GS AUTO ORKNEY GREY

Had no problem with the bolt I used (an obvious one near the fuse box). I didn't remove it - just loosened, wrapped the wire round and retightened. I used a completely enclosed lighter socket (plenty available on e-bay) and just left it loose in the glove box.

It's great to see how this figment has evolved. I believe it is one of the most professional looking retrofits of a sat nav on any car.

I had no problem with two-sided tape. I did find the unit wasn't as robust as I hoped - it had started doing odd things (like keep trying to send me home) and I would have bought another if I had been keeping the car. As it was, I took it out and sold the car in original spec. I think the option of being able to take it out is worth thinking about. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

I hot-glued mine and in the recent very hot weather the glue melted and failed. I re-did it with more of the same and it failed again.
