There's a cable with 4 pin connector taped to the wiring harness behind the left hand side rear trim panel, removing the tape gives you about 6 inches of cable play - I simply cut off the connector and attached the speaker cables using blue bullet/socket crimps, it's easy to figure out which cables go where, i.e. black stripe to black stripe - very easy novice DIY job.

Don't forget to "rip-off" the foam from behind the speaker grilles on the rear panels - to let the sound out.

for rear panel removal see here

does anyone know if all this applies to a 2002 hardtop?

decided to redo the rear space of the DogTaxi

found Wickes 3pk chipboard loft storage interlocking panels ideal @ only £6.98
320mm wide x 1220mm long x 18mm thick



2 of the boards are cut at 910mm wide



the board nearest the rear door needs radiused corners of 50mm, which just happend to be the size of a 500g coffee mate tub



the panel nearest the seats looks as below



and put them all together



that's the base done, just need to lock the panels together then make a removable tool storage box on the right, will update with the next steps soon

;)

fitted my tow-bar electric socket today,
decided to to put it on the bumper.

simple job, just dropped the bumper and drilled some holes



and tightened the bolts,



there's a flap under the nearside rear light behind the bumper and the cable simply feeds through into the nearside rear wing space where the cables can be spliced into



also laid some decking in the rear of the truck .... :blink:

actually used decking to secure the boards to
and after seeing helijohns armrest,
decided to utilise the middle board support as a base for an armrest



(ordered from Bulgaria)



;)

fitted an armrest today but not sure if it's going to stay :unsure:









comfy and handy storage :)
but putting the seatbelt on/off is a bit more fiddly :(

should have spent more and got a lift-up one, only paid £15 for this one (and you can tell :sick: )

will give it a couple of days to decide if it stays or goes :S
