I dont want to pay for a ferrari battery charger and I'm fed up removing the foot plate to connect my standard trickle charger on my 360. Anybody know if the pre-wired plug for connection to the ferrari spec charger is an off the peg item and where I could get one. regards, A

where is this pre-wired harness unit - I have a carcoon charger (identical to the accumate) which I'd like to try on my 360

mine is hard wired onto the battery terminals and then you plug in a conector which is in the boot when the car is not in use

to get to the pre wired plug, open the front boot. On the ledge in front of the windscreen on the left hand side, there is a panel approx 8" wide x 4" held on by three screws. If you remove this panel you will find a pre wired plug. If you use the battery isolater, you will also isolate this plug. regards, A

am I being stupid here - I can't find the plug - had a look in the manual and can find nothing like it.


On the other hand if the image in the manual is anything like the plug, my carcoon charger certainly won't connect anyway.

I use an Accumate (on wall bracket) via the cig lighter socket on my 360 as I do not have the factory charger option and this works just fine.

Although fag lighter will only work if its a permanent live...better check your car before splashing out.
