It is very easy!
This is what I done: PHATBOX INSTALL
1. Pull out the HU & Dash CD Changer
2. Take off the side sills! When you take the first side sill under the glovebox you will see the earthing (as 2 there is already 2 earth wires going to there)!
3. Plug in the CD changer cable to the HU & earthing point and connect to PB to see if it works.
4. What then is put your hand behind the HU and push the CD cable up behind the console.
5. Then route the CD cable under the foam (under the glovebox) and side sills but do this last just make sure you have enough cable left.
6. Take the rear seat out (the bottom) and you will notice a big black plastic screw! Undo this and then you will see another one when you take the rear back down... undo this!
7. In the boot unscrew the metal bag hook! Remove the first aid holder. Then pull the top of the boot trim (under the parcel shelf). This is so when you push the cable to the boot it is easy to find........ but this step is not ness!
8. Don't take off, just pop the front of the card if 3 door (the bit under the seat belt)! This will enable you to just push the cable under the trim (but not yet).
9. Now push the cable in to the boot, via under the trim just below the rear seat belt and keep pushing until you see it in the boot.
10. Once in the boot, now just push the cable under the panels in the car and under the foam.
11. Put back in the sills and rear seat............. and done!
It is very easy 2-3 hours max if a novice, like me!
If you don't have a in dash CD changer, I would take out the cubby hole, just to give you more room! Follow the instructions when hooking up the PB for the first time!
Hope this helps
