There should be a way to pass through the firewall -even if you do radio install by yourself, it may be better to go to one of the sound/alarm installation shops and ask them to pass the wire for you.

I found a way thru the firewall by removing the glove box and then peeling back the noise damping cloth. This reviled about 4million wires and electrical bits but you could see the firewall. Going from the boot release level on the left door is a black cable which goes thru a hole in the firewall. There is some more noise damping on the firewall and you can see where a section has been cut to allow the boot release cable thru.

Have you checked the luggage compartment fuse box to take your supply from?

Glad I found this thread. Pick mine up this week. I have just ripped all the amateur radio gear out of my old Corsa and I am not looking forward to fitting in the Freelander2. If it is anything like as hard as it was on my Disco3 it will take all day. No more fighting with the misses over who takes the 4x4.

I guess you have these in Scotland as mobile phones can't get signals

Who can't? That's what wives are for or as we call them XYLs (eX Young Ladies). I get mine to drive home from the pub or when I want to talk on the radio or have a kip. Best regards Steve GW7AAV http://www.gw7aav.com http://www.cqhq.co.uk |
