I ended up taping into a switched power source that fed the terrain response system. It wasn't my first choice but I got frustrated and took the first one I found. Seems to be working well. |

If you are doing it again, a few people used the cigarette lighter, the front one is switched.

I took mine of the front cigar lighter as this is ignition fed, and also fused. |

So today I found out that the switched accessory I used will cut off when it is daylight outside.

Just make sure if you are using the sony sat nav it needs to run at 5.3volts so dont just cut the accessory plug off and hard wire it in as it will then have a 12volt supply which cause the unit to overheat, i had a new accessory socket fitted and hidden behind the radio unit.Don't forget there is a fuse board in the passenger foot well to find a supply feed if needed.

I am using a sony satnav system. I just bought an adaptor and which plugs onto the cigarette lighter source for the sat nav. Then it gives you a power and ground wire.

All i know the guy who done mine fitted an accessory point behind the radio somewhere then feed the wire though the little hole which is under the rubber mat where the sat nav sits he also fitted my parrot bluetooth so not sure what feed he used but could well be the one that end up at the accessory socket near gear stick.why can you not find a fuse in the footwell to use.???

I unclipped the gear knob surround, unplugged the terrain switch and pulled it out of the way. Its very tight but you can just get to the base of the socket - I got a cigar socket extension lead and connected with spade terminals in-line to the existing socket and tucked under the console trim in the footwell. Then simply plug in the sat nav cirag plug. |

I did it on mine but it was difficult! I ended up having to remove most of the console right back to the back seats. I was hoping to get a lottle slack on the cable, but there is literally none. You can unplug the loom that connects to the front accessory socket from just where the rear seat audio controls are, but the stretch from there forward is tied to the console.

Are there instructions somewhere on how to disassemble the console between the two seats? |

I know its very tight... I managed to get my fingers in and unplug the lead on the base of the lighter. Then squeezed in again and fitted the lead I had made up. Probably took an hour of fiddling and would probably take the whole console out next time! |
