A www.disco3.co.uk resource Page 30 (holes on the top side) (test fitted – no probs) While I was at it, I thought of replacing some loose wires I had from a previous mod with a nice panel (these are the SMB ‐RCA cables used directly on the back of the LR SatNav screen). I got a little panel and drilled holes for the plugs. I also got some single RCA plugs to bring one of the GVIF in puts in the glovebox at a later stage, which I fitted now but not yet wired: (front view) (rear view) (RCA video panel...) (...and RCA plugs fitted)
A www.disco3.co.uk resource Page 31 (back side of the glovebox) (main loom of the unit – note rubber grommet) Once all holes are drilled, just push the unit’s cabling through and take to the car. I used rubber grommets for both sets of wires (one shown above is the main AV and remote control plugs, the other is the power cables on my unit). I also soldered male spade connectors to the po wer cabl es to match the cabling waiting in the car and covered the protruding screw tips with LOTS of tape to avoid them catching on anything they shouldn’t (though in hindsight that’s not necessary): (male spade connectors to unit’s power cables) (screw tips covered with tape – underside of glovebox) At this stage I realised I had not threaded the cable for the IR remote supplied, which I wanted to fit next to the left power socket. As it’s quite chunky, I had to thread its cable upwards to the left of the HVAC and IHU (with the H‐ Trim removed) and route to th e same spot the AV cables from the GVIF were waiting – this was a real PITA to complete as there are other LR cables in the way – be prepared for lots of swearing and cuts! I also used a jumbo paperclip bent as a hook to help with “fishing” it fr om th e top side.
A www.disco3.co.uk resource Page 32 (IR remote receiver – sticks with adhesive pad) Now that everything is in place, it’s simply a question of connecting to the unit, tidying the cables so they’re not in the way and refitting the glovebox – this involves making sure all metal clips are in their place and simply pushing back in until it locks securely. I found it easi e r to have the lower glovebox fully open (pinch the two plastic runners that hold it open to fully lower it down), so I could reach from below and pull back the cables as the upper glovebox was being put in place. The last thing is to put the le ft airvent cover back on as well and that’s it. Here’s how mine looks with all the other paraphernalia that lives in there ☺ :
