Wiring on the S240

Hi Gents
I am new to the forum. Had the 240 for 3 months now and getting used to it. I am based in Cape Town South Africa, not too many 240'S here. I purchased a BOE towbar and fitted that recently to the car so I could fit my bike rack to carry my road bike to hill climb which gives me the opurtunity to cycle and do some hillclimbing in the car. BUt to get to thepoint, I have also fitted a tyre pressure monitor and a Samsung GPS into the Rear View mirror casing that I hollowed out. I now need to get some wiring to the rear view mirror from the Blaupunkt stereo which will give me GPS/Carphone handsfree/MP3 player and I need to get 12v to the TPMS and the Samsung to charge them. Any ideas on easy routing from dash to A-pillar and then to roof screen cover and also where I can pick up a 12v supply to power these. Is there a decent workshop manual available to show how the dash and A pillar come apart.

TPMS

Only the USA models have TPMS as standard so I decided to fit my own. Our roads are very rutty so waring of deflation is a must if you want to save the rim
