Hi All,
Well basics are done!
Dont bother looking for a sensible route for any kind of cabling, piping from the engine bay through the bulkhead, there ain't one!
I decided to run cables and tubes down the side of the wing by carefully making a hole in the hard grey polystyrene material and then through the spare grommet in the door pillar and behind into the glovebox area!
The glovebox was easy enough to get out, just make sure you get the bolt in the back of the box, I missed that and nearly fekked it.
There is so much technology behind there its scary!
For my Alpine iPod magic box I cut a hole in the side of the glovebox and fed the 2 connections in when putting the glovebox back in place.
SO......
I have all wires in place and just await the facia for the right stereo fit. I have all wires to the boot sorted and found easy to conseal under the trim with a little nip and tuck here and there.
I also ran a piece of tubing for the boost gauge, when the zmaxautosport air vent pod arrives I will hook it all up.
Next step door cards and new front speakers. I have ordered the plywood baffles as there necessary says AndyMac (always trust what this man says!) but dont know how to get in to the poxy tweeters?
I may have to attack with a stanley knife and glue the new pods in place?
I will think more on that one.
Right, the real stuff.................................MAPS!
REVO dont list a map for the 170 TDi as far as I know, will a REVO map be the best for my car?
Should I look at a bluefin, what benefits will I have?
I want something that isn't going to be wipped or deleted when I take it for a service, what can I look at here?
Please get your feedback ASAP as payday looms and I want to get it sorted
