Hey guys, really really desperately need help on this one. I've purchased myself an xcarlink http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/XCarlink-...item4169038899
and I'm very unsure of where to conceal the main square part of the unit...I'm just worried of taking everything apart and finding out its difficult to 'fit' the square part.
Help?
Mine is in my glove compartment. I just routed the wiring through the back of the glove compartment and then stuck the unit onto the side.
there is heaps of room inside adjacent to the centre console glovebox. you can just mount it using doublesided tape
Same.. just the the triangle bit of on the side and you can feed it through there then up to the globe boxQuote:

Hmm glove box sounds like a good idea. Although I'm very picky and don't like a lot of loose wires hanging around. I like things concealed. Maybe I'll have to just sort of try different spots to satisfy me as I'm pulling it all apart :P
If you want to conceal wires you will have to cut a hole one way or the other so be prepared for that.
pics? :)Quote:

installed my xcarlink today! Just stored the unit behind the cubby and drilled a hole in the top right and shoved both ipod cable and AUX in. Easier than I thought, although 2 problems... the ipod connector has some distortion coming through although AUX does not.. Secondly, my seat warmer lights (when you have headlights on) turn on and off intermediately (when you turn them on a setting or off).. anyone know why? It's getting serviced this Wednesday anyway so if no one knows ill just let Honda know and hopefully they just fix it haha
Also, I took photos with each step of install so if anyone needs a tutorial I'm happy to post them up :)
Would this be the best way to go if I want to solely play my iPhone in my car while it charges etc?
oh wow, looks very discreet man!Quote:
