Did mine a while back and hasn't worked that well for me????
I'm thinking that because I have a aux power supply cable running up into roof in the same 'A' pillar, it may be causing interferance????
I'll have to revisit it at a later date.
The Jeremy Clarkson, holding the key fob to your head trick, is still working fine.

nugget,

When you say you had the blanks layered? Can you explain that to me please.

How do they laser the letters onto the blank switch?

I used some black tire levers from a bicycle puncture repair kit to lever the panel off after undoing the two screws

Works a treat and doesn't leave any marks or damage

I just pulled at it, starting at the top and it came off.

Want to install a reversing camera and monitor in my puma 2016
Want to to take the wiring from the camera at the back along chassis rail up through engine bay and into space behind dash via grommet in firewall . Then take it from dash space up between the window dash area
don’t want to drill holes in dash if I can help it

To get the wire through the dash/ window space I can remove the front radio/ clock /switches facia and get my hand there
.......But to make things easier CAN I REMOVE THE TOP SECTION OF THE DASH ABOVE THE RADIO / CLOCK SECTION............??........if so any one who has done this could suggest how I go about it .....screws to remove ....where to prize with out breaking anything .?

Many thanks

As for getting the wires thru... I like to get a coathanger, and feed it INTO the vehicle from the engine bay side. Locate the wire end, then tape/tie the wires you need to pull back thru to the wire end. Use plenty of silicone spray, wd40 or similar, and it'll be slippery as a greased pig.

thanks for that
have got this out before but could never get it completely removed as I could not disconnect the clock ....... is there a trick to this

also is there anyway to get the top of the dash off ....or is it too huge of a job .....if I need to drill a hole towards the back of it close to window .....then better to remove to get at it as I would want the hole at the back close to window
