[QUOTE="Hopeless, post: 8418277, member: 667023"] To get the wire across to the radio, I looped it through a pole from my venetian blinds, and gently pushed it through behind the steering wheel, until I could reach it through the radio slot, and pulled through the wire: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/VMfSjFV.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jK6Wuut.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/qgrVMFl.jpg[/IMG] At the radio end, connect a bullet connector to the wire. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Vg2XrBU.jpg[/IMG] You will remember that the red wire on the adapter has a bullet connector in the middle. Just pull that apart. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/j4quYWU.jpg[/IMG] Now connect your wire from the fuse box to the stereo end of the red wire on the adapter: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/sa8za4h.jpg[/IMG] Though that is the radio end done now, I would keep it sitting outside of the dashboard until you are sure that the live and switched wires are the right way round. You will know this once everything is connected. Back to the fuse box. You will need an add-a-circuit fuse holder, also known as a piggyback fuse holder. This was the only part I could not purchase on the high street, and had to order it online. You need to make sure the size you order is the same size as the fuse you picked (in my case, mini). The fuse holder looks like this: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/zp4xTWq.jpg[/IMG] This comes with a connector (the blue bit), so you just put the other end of the red wire into it, and squeeze it. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/tsQpQfp.jpg[/IMG] Finally, put the fuse holder into the fuse slot you identified, stick a fuse in the top, and voila. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/5PdO1Sh.jpg[/IMG] Now just check that the permanent and switched power are the right way round, and you should have a stereo that remembers settings and switches off when the car does.
