Hi All,
Just some photos for a Sport as it is a little different than the D4.
Even tho' now this is how i wire up all 10MY+ vehicles (D4 & Spt)
The +ve & -ve wires go to the battery via the grommet next to the brake booster as per D4 post wired with circuit breaker. Earth attches to negative post in front of battery box.
The 1st photo shows the felt/rubber door seal, just make sure you fold the felt part of the door seal down in between the trim as if you done, it will leave a lump & the door can catch, also the felt can interfere with the trims clips that hold the floor sill panel down, see 3rd pic.
The 2nd photo shows how the "B" pillar lower section comes off, easy.
The 4th photo shows the daylight to the rear where the cable exits see 5th photo. I just use a piece of coathanger wire to poke through.
TBC.

The 6th photo shows the exit point from looking inside the rear 1/4 panel & you can see light when you remove the tail light (bottom r/h corner of photo you can see the cable exiting)& the grommet, Photo 7 shows the other side, just poke a small hole in the grommet & squeeze the cables through, the hole again does not have to be huge.
The 8th photo shows the hole in the rear chassis crossmemebr that the cables travel in to where the plugs are. Make sure you tie up the cable & keep it away from the exhaust.
The final photo shows the all important connections. Take note of the solder joint of the "2 park light circuits" this is a MUST !!!!!
The others are red brake light circuit pick up, & the blue (variable voltage feed) to the left over brown wire that goes to pin 5.
Also fit the "DIODE" to the red wire which i do under the pedals & make sure the Kathode end (end with stripe) faces the controller.

Cheers
