disconnect the old loom, and connect the new loom that came with the kit.

the cigarette lighter has the wire attached to it...

the loom i got with the box is a extension loom.

i just drilled a small hole in the top of the ashtray, used a small bit a blue tack and put it in there.

so when you open it, it has a light :D

That could confuse any would be thief if they take your car they could think it might blow up any time soon and leave it :p

Anyhow back to 2din, when i took my old one out i took out the little light that was inside the ash tray. Since i couldn't pull out my old cig lighter i bought a new one from supercheap for around $5 and just hardwired that onto my acc wire off the cd player. And now (well 2 days ago) i took that out and put in a engine start button in the hole instead
