So today I (almost) finished installing a 9WZ module in my wagon. And before I go any further can I just say...

WHAT. A. ****. Of a job!

It took me the better part of 4 hours (a lot of which involved swearing) and it was one of the most irritating, annoying, infuriating, painful, frustrating jobs I have ever done on a car. I wouldn't wish that on my enemy.

The main issue was trying to get the new wiring loom with those big connectors to fit in the tiny cavity behind the RNS so that the head unit could slide all the way back again. I eventually had half the dash off trying to get my hands in the back there to try and jiggle things around to get it all to fit.

The module still isn't sitting fully under the seat because I don't have the tools to lift the seat rail so that I can thread the wiring under.

I haven't managed to get my phone to connect yet but to be honest I couldn't be arsed right. That is future Dom's problem.

Oh and did I mention that once I had put everything back together I had one spare panel screw!!! I looked everywhere but I could work out where it came from. I think it is from under the steering wheel somewhere because there was a "rattle" there when I took the dog to the park that I'm sure wasn't there this morning... Also future Dom's problem...
