Hi guys so I’ve got a head unit ordered which is on the way as well as a new can gateway. I already have a sub in the garage and wiring etc but wanted to ask if any of you guys have fitted a sub in too?
I wanted to know which route from the engine is best to wire the power cable through? I’ve heard there’s one behind the battery box. Would be great if you guys could shar

Cheers @colesey. I'll look into that some more. APR Stage 1 is booked in for Wednesday. I wonder, do you think it's a DIY job? I don't mind getting my hands dirty, but honestly, sometimes it's more cost effective to get someone with a set of ramps to do it.

The washer is fixed to the plug hence you're meant to change the plug every time you removed it, should be plenty for sale on eBay.
