Hi Simon,
I'm at the point of running the cables down the inside of the car, now raining so got to wait for it to stop.....
I've mounted the control box in the wheel arch between the outer and inner skin of the car as the boot panel wouldn't fit if I put it where the instructions say.
I am interested in where you picked up the live for the switched live in the fuse box. Did the connector that comes on the yellow wire fit in the fuse box or did you connect it to another wire? I would like to seperately fuse it just to be on the safe side.
I am going to get mine coded at the dealers. I did this when I fitted a tow bar to my MK2 Cupra I had. If I remember it only cost £45 and it all worked perfectly.
Cheers

With the kit I got came some instructions that were for multiple vehicles and caused quite a lot of confusion!
If you go down the route of correctly pulling all the pins on the vehicle harness and inserting the wires as instructed, it actually makes some of the wiring in the box redundant.
The feeds for the power to the back, one permanent live and one switched live, came form the fuse box. For the permanent live I used the same wiring that would have fed the harness wiring and ran in to the little supplied fuse holder with 4 connections.
For the ignition live, I found an unused live in the fuse box, ran my terminal in to the empty space and inserted a fuse.
For all of the wiring, there is a degree of actually understanding what is being achieved, if you get this it is a lot easier.
Leave yourself plenty of time for this part, lots of daylight and definitely somewhere dry!
Cheers
Simon
