need help with my new 993 turbo

[cytefx]

ok, got the car, personal import from the eu, so its lhd (I did actually want a lhd) i have a sat nav system that I am fitting to the vehicle, i need to mount the gps ariel preferably in the front screen, I thought behind the bit of plastic just below the windscreen (5 screws, and yes i have already dropped one in the vent. ) the bit that is puzzling me is how to get the cable down from here to behind the radio, as it looks like solid metal behind the dash, anyone have any ideas?

thanks

John

There are grommets/conduits for the harnesses but they tend to be difficult to access and already quite full.

I ended up filing a small groove in the edge of the platic ventilation duct on the right side of the car. There's an elbow that can be removed under the front lid near the base of the lid strut and then you need to remove a nut under the dash. This is all from hazy memory of three years ago... small hands help as space is tight.

I had this problem and tried the squeezing it down the side of the vent route but it's not the sort of solution you want on a car like this. If you take off the little plastic plate you mentioned you'll see holes in the metal close to the screen. The GPS reciever cable will pass through these and the cable will drop into the apreture behind the clocks. A grommet there will get you into the passenger compartment. Hope that all makes sense. If not let me know and I'll have another look at my car- it's a while sinse I did it.

Best of luck.

John, just go around the dash, so along the top to the corner (there is the depth for it) then under the side panel (which you will hae to take off) than all the way around the bottom of the dash (you will see a flow of wires already) to the back of the unit

Thanks for the replies, I will take out the clock tonight and look behind there for the route up to the dash, I prefer this than going along the screen and down the side as i think it will look better.
