Domino,
This isn't really for the faint hearted!!
Basically, you:
- unscrew the tunnel by the gear stick,
- lift the plastic as far as you can,
- open out the shroud surrounding the cables there,
- find the light green wires described & pictured elsewhere.
- You need only hook up to one - I chose the light green / pink.
- use a soldering iron to melt the insulation a bit and attach a wire to it
- take this wire to the stereo (tricky this bit - my route was convoluted - under the floor carpet, along the side carpet, up the footwellin behind the dash on the drivers side, behind the dash (took the instrument pod off) to the radio)
- hook it up to the speed sense pin - was labelled in my Blaupunkt manual.
sounds horrific, but actually works very well.
I had the instrument panle off & stereo out anyway to hook up other goodies:
- steering wheel stereo remote
- phone car kit
- PDA (for sat nav) cradle
- auto lights on ignition
If you decide to go for it & need more detail - do post again
James
