Jiffy - Take a picture of your roof console, ill try work it out for you.

Slick - Pull down your roof trim and have a look if you have the mounts, if so you should be able to do it.

Installed a sunnies holder in my VS exec a few months back... Very happy with it. You seemed to make the wiring job slightly more complicated than needed? You could have just gotten a hold of the male version of that plug... Either that, or just used four spade bits. It seems it was a lot easier for you to mount.. There is nowhere near as much room between the headliner and the roof in the VS. Looks great :thumbsup:

The other end of the factory loom is pretty hard to get a hold of. Spade connectors could have worked, but would have been a pain to disconnect / match up if i ever had to take it apart. This is just easier. Plus it looks alot more professional, and im a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to wiring and my car :)

Fair enough, I ended up using new plugs right through aswell.

It's identical to yours, looks the same as the pics, just without the black wire....

black wire is the ground for independant switchs. It should work if u just dont hook it up.
