Fot my Road Angel I took it to a local car audio fitter. Charged a tenner. Worth it as Im hopeless.. Thye had the stereo out and wired it around there somewhere...HAve the cable now in the right hand corner of the dash, to tricky to keep taking it in and out when in the centre of dash..

I fitted mine by removing the steering column shroud and then removing a bit of the insulation off the ignition live that comes on when you turn the key to the second position.

Soldered a fuse holder onto the cable then used a bit of self amalgamating tape around the connection, then soldered the snooper cable to the other end of the fuse holder.

No more dangling wires and it looks ok.
