cannot find my can bus

(1/2) > >>

bad devotions:
So, i have my new can bus from Eddie and I have now ordered my RCD510. As the sun is shining i thought i'd quickly pop the can bus in so it's ready for the new head unit. I checked a few guides and apparently it's by either the clutch or accelerator pedals. I've popped the trim off easy enough but cannot see the gateway for love nor money.

then i found this: http://www.r32oc.com/topic/29242-canbus-gateway-location-removal/

Has anyone done it this way? Am i going to have to go down the route of removing my windscreen wipers?? any tips/pointers/advice would be useful.

thanks!

Eddie-NL:
give this a read as it will help you locate it

thanks - i'll take a closer look. My car is a 56 plate and registered in september 2006 so it must be near the clutch. Couldn't see it all earlier though!

Mine is a 56 plate and can bus is above the pedals. Problem is you have to get you head right under and look up, while on your back with legs sticking out of the car lol.
Its quite awkward to get the connector plug unclipped.

i've got no fu**ing chance now as it's pitch black outside at the moment :D

I'll have to try again over the weekend - fingers crossed i can find it.
