Birthday boy gets Road Angel as pressie. Question: Has anyone DIY'd a hardwire for this, if so, how? My trouble and strife phoned someone (don't know who but thank god she didn't have the keys to the car) to ask if they did it and the guy on the other end said yes but they drill a hole in the dash!!!!!! I had a Boxster as a courtesy car from Mid Sussex OPC which, I am sure had a unit hardwired which looks a lot neater than the coiled wire to the fag lighter. Any pointers to how would be greatly appreciated.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

You might be able to wire to something under the panel where the alarm flashing bulb is (centre-front of dash). On cars with the Sat-Nav the GPS receiver is located here (on a magnet under the alarm flasher!). You might be able to tap in to power here - the GPS module would need power?
Thanks Mark, I do have Sat/Nav - I will take a peek
Oh, and you'll need an angled attachment for undoing torx screws to get at it...[&:]
Ok, I know the tools you are referring too, again thanks.
Mid Sussex hardwired mine for £100.00! Pick-up power from the fuse board in the driver footwell. I believe only the satnav gps patch antenna is in the top of the dash, and that is passive (no power)
