Post by: Smudgster on May 09, 2009, 05:10:35 pm

i nearly put up a post like this but i just figured it out myself.

basically...take out the battery...and you can see the grommit that goes thru the bulkhead. take out the glovebox too and you can see where the cables come thru. then you can wire the cable to the boot under the sills! ;)

Guys,

have you got power, speakers and RCA down one side? Any issues?

if you run all the cables down the same side you will get interference.You need to put the power cables down one side & the speaker cables down the other

I put the power and remote turn on down the sill and RCA & Speakers down the centre. Will find out tomorrow if its ok.
