Electrical artwork for new D4

[GregMilner]

Just got to tip my hat to the guys at Auto Spark in Osborne Park (Perth) - beautifully installed electrical work for my new D4 yesterday. And they did it all in a day, jobs that would have taken me weeks or months, lots of swearing and scratching of head and knuckles.
1) Replaced OEM trailer sockets with a 12-pin socket and a 50 amp Anderson, mounted on custom-designed 316 stainless brackets.

2) Added a second 12-volt outlet in the cargo hold, running 100amp wire to it and the OEM one, with a 70amp breaker. (I'd always had trouble charging my portable Engel battery from the OEM 12 volt outlet in the L322.)

3) Added an on-off switch alongside for the gadget (can't remember what they called it) that recognises the LED lights on the camper trailer, and turns off the reverse parking sensors when under tow.
4) Installed the Uniden UHF behind the panel below the steering wheel, with the detachable remote microphone double-side taped (no holes) to the side of the console.

5) installed the electric brake controller (again, no holes drilled) near my right knee.
6) installed the UHF aerial on a custom stainless bracket bolted to OEM mounting points under the bonnet.

Plus, really neat and tidy wiring hub under the bonnet alongside where the deep cycle second battery might go one day.


Pictures as above.
All in all, very happy with their work.

WTF!!!!!!! Greg that's extortion...

[GregMilner]

Extortion is probably a bit tough. In the overall scheme of things, it got the jobs done in good time, and professionally fitted. Okay, yes I could have got it done a bit cheaper elsewhere, or done it myself for a lot more grief and time. But I've used these guys several times, I like them, I can always go back to them if there's a problem, which they fix free of charge, and I know the job is done well. At the end of the day, my time is worth more than farting around trying save a hundred bucks here and there.

A good auto sparky is worth their weight in gold.
