it was only about 15 days...to Brisbane. Unfortunately can’t get Cam to do it, and no auto sparky seems to either up here so I might have to have a crack myself. Fingers crossed. [bigwhistle]

Hey Tim.
If you have a dremel you'll have no problems!
I used a jab saw and a drill as I'm impatient and my dremel is next town over.
If you make small cut across under the upper liner the insert can be pulled off the plastic it's glued onto - you'll be to see better then.
Unscrew the cubby.
Cut through the plastic along the top and just pull out. Just don't cut into the aircon surrounds.
Hopefully the photos help. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2f6f1b771a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...22a7a9e5e9.jpg
Thanks Cambo! I'll hopefully get to it tomorrow! I suspect the units are all the same and will save me the hassle of doing any extra work up back. I have been looking everywhere for this information DiscoDB. You are a beautiful human being.
All part of the community spirit. Have been researching the same for a few small projects. Just test with a voltmeter to confirm you have the right fuses.
There is also an unused relay which one of the pins is an earth that will take a spade connector - although I would look for an earth direct to the body which I guess will be just behind the passenger side kick panel.
All wired up! Took constant from behind the glove box and accessories from the cigarette lighter. My android auto dongle is still coming so I've got to jump in again later and put that in and take out the lighter for usb ports.
The CANbus interface works great! Media controls on steering wheel are working straight away and even the door sensors show up. The reversing camera didn't need a trigger wire either so very quick setup once cables are in place! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...144cb1924c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...abfbeac42d.jpg
How long does it take to boot up for the reverse camera to work? I have not wired the reverse camera yet but the screen takes a bit to get booted for the Android/CarPlay. So hopefully it just switches on to the camera feed because there are some who drive the disco that are impatient engagers of reverse..[bigwhistle]
That's strange my unit powers up immediately as it never seems to sleep. I don't see the boot logo even though I set it to come on after sleep. Maybe I was meant to pick a different power source?
I haven't got my android auto yet.
The reversing camera takes about 1.5 seconds to switch over. I just start reversing looking back and by the time you want it it'll be there.
