Hard Wiring Road Angel

[Mark-K1]

Hi,

Has anyone hard wired a road angel into a Leon ??

I don't like the cable being on show and find the position of the cigarette lighter not the best for having something plugged in that sits on the dash.

I don't want to start randomly pulling at bits of the dash and console etc as its brand
new but would like to hear the optins and see if anyone has done it

Indeed I was...

Also if you want to run the wires behind any dash pieces have a look at the sat nav tutorial in faq it tells you how to take everything out, not as daunting as it might look honestly!

Cheers Dave,

Had a read of that thread and it makes me feel a bit more confident about pulling bits
of plastic lol
Will have a go once the footy season finishes or we get a free wekend.

Awesome result last week, will be nice to repeat it tomorrow too

I hardwired my Snooper and mounted it here.

Do those snoopers work in Germany???

I hardwired my Snooper and mounted it here.

Im lucky as im 6'4" and have the steering wheel all the way out as far as it goes, so the snooper fits nicely behind it in front of the dials, I use to keep track of speed instead of the speedo as its more accurate.
