i spent a day with the company who do this

as with any solar panel the battery has to be in good condition

If not, post up pic with glovebox out, somebody will show you

There you go again, crediting me with skills I don't have!

Thanks Dave, mine says it is rated at 2.4W, so I guess it will give about 1.75w in good sun, which will at least help.

2.4W will give you 200mA.

Absolute best case scenario. ie, on the equator in unbroken sunshine, and not through a tinted bit of glass.

Although I suspect even then its flawed, as it will need to be above 13v to put anything back in battery I would have though

I bought a similar one from maplins last month for £12:99 (normally 25 quid)
2.4 watt output and I can confirm that it pushes out a good 19 volts (no load) when its wedged between the sunroof and the sunroof blind on a sunny day.

Can't fault it tbh

That has no meaning...

Ok, its not enough to charge a car battery unless you don't mind waiting 6 months but it will keep it topped up as long as the battery is in a fair condition.

Phone prewire is a MID type plug (actually, more accurately, a CID type plug), but 16 pin (IIRC). Usually secured to loom/duct behind glovebox with masking tape. Very obvious once glovebox out normally

That's like Klingon to me However, if I look for an unused plug it should be the one.

Ah, yes, sorry, thought you'd had a MID out before.

Yeah, its pretty obvious
