Comes out up behind the glove box - it can be difficult to get your hands up there and grab it. Just put your hand up behind and you'll find the big wiring loom that comes through that grommet. You should then be able to find the power cable from there :)

I took my glovebox out, made it uber easy. Especially as I needed to feed a USB wire into glovebox, plus made easy work of feeding cabling away from HU as I fitted it in. Makes it more difficult if you have an airbag there tho! :lol:

Its up the back behind the AC unit - absolute pain if you have AC. I had a very sore bleeding hand afterwards :(

It comes out behind the insulation. Its up on the right hand side of the AC unit. You have to pull the carpet and stuff down behind it.
