The prewiring to plug the Satnav loom in to is only on MY98.5 and MY99 cars. Early 1998 cars (built in 1997) will not have this.

My MV6 did, that was an R reg built in '97.

Luck of the draw - it was added to (non factory fit CARiN) cars partway through the MY98.  A 98.5 car pretty much guarantees the loom. A very early MY98 (non 3.0l Elite) will likely not have it.

And, of course the MV6 main loom is the same as an Elite I think as all MV6's were 3.0s at that time.

Given yours was manufactured 3 weeks after mine, I wouldn't be surprised if yours didn't have it.


Its not the end of the world, from memory, you need:
12V - plenty about (but pop in inline fuse)
12V ign - plenty about (again, inline fuse it)
0V - a convenient stud (M8 from memory) above passenger kick panel
Lights
Reverse lights
Speed pulse

All these later 3 are easily grabbed from the loom in the passenger kick panel.

Almost - you'd need to trace it back to the plug to ensure you have the right one, as there may be a couple of wires the same colour
