Installing MDI adapters is evil....work has had to be postponed till tomorrow, and currently the car has most trim around the center console removed!

Bloody looms!!!

Oh yes. The loom is well and truly integrated into the interior loom of the car if you have factory CD/iPod prep - not something you want to be removing.

Quality German Engineering strikes again  :wink:

I would be putting mine back to stock if I sold anyway so wouldnt be removing the loom. Would just need to run the new one I guess!  :happy2:
