Carin Sat Nav

Top man Andy, thanx

UPDATE - Fitting in progress


JACKPOT !!!!

No I haven't won Euromillions, but when I opened the passenger kick panel, the first thing I saw was the elusive 6 pin connector sticking out of the loom above X1 !!!

I thought 'I can't really be that lucky can I ?'

Checked the colours and they matched, so plugged it in and voila the nav system fired.

Off out now to try and get the sound through the stereo - more soon.

PS TheBoy, both units work completely.

Right, Stereo feed is a no-go for now, there are no pins in the connector to attach to. Will have to try a Scrappie sometime.

Today was pretty 'scrapheap challenge' tastic, a few challenges encountered and I will do a 'how-to' with pictures when I should be working on Monday.

So sat-nav is now in and working, only question left is how do I take the outer rear of the rear seat off to pass the cables through?

th
eThanks for all the help guys

Pull the toggle at the front edge of the base of the rear seat to release the front of it. Lift the front edge and pull it forward a little - you won't need to remove it completely - seat belt buckles, heated seats etc etc. At the bottom of the side bolster is a square plastic ring that is held down via a metal tab which is welded to the body. Lever the metal tab up enough to pull the plastic ring foward & clear of it. Lift the bolster vertically & it will come out. Refitting is the reverse...... :-)

Is this the same six pin plug you found in the passenger footwell under the kick panel

Indeed it looks identical in the picture.

That was it's location so I can't see it being a completely different plug.

So did you just plug the sat nav loom into this and then everything came to live.

And then did you route the loom to the boot to the carin cd and route it under the dash to the screen etc.

PS; Check out the meets , gathering section. There's a meet it Callander this Sunday about 2 o'clock

Basically yes, sounds simple but it was quite a challenge  

Writing a how-to at the moment.
