Remove the A Pillar cover, pop the panel that says Airbag, underneath is a Phillips Screw, remove this the panel comes off, run the cable up the pillar, making sure you do not cross the Airbag at any point, this part is vital, then pull off the rubber door seal and you will find a way to the fuse box. You can tuck the cable easily behind the Headlining without removing it. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior |

Should have said, I would be running the cable from the fuse box to the glove box. Then run the cam power cable from the windscreen to the glovebox. Would the required access be granted with your method? FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

A pillar is the one between the door and the windscreen, B Billar is the one between the front door and the rear passenger door, C Pillar Rear Passenger door and so on.

Kind of obvious when you explain it thank you. That's one more thing cleared up in almost every thread I read

From the pic it looks like you would wire that directly into a piggybck fuse and the other wire with the clip on the end is the earth. No need for cig socket. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

Got the new and correct piggy back fuse and fitted a couple of nights ago. Didn't work. Turns out one of the fuses that came with it was blown. Thankfully bought 2 so now all working
