Just curious how you remove the storage bin below the HVAC controls. Is it necessary to remove the face plate over HVAC, or just remove the 2 screws at the top of the bin and pull straight out? thanks. i'm going to install a defi link controller in there and want to remove it 1st so i can run the wires, and make an opening for the plug that goes into the back of the unit.

 

Thats the way! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

That's exactly where I put mine. You need to drill quite a large hole in the back side of the storage bin, to fit through all the various wires and connectors for all the sensors and stuff. Just make it larger than needed, then fill it up with RTV silicon to seal it off if needed.

 

-thanks, could you help me out w/ which wires you used/tapped into? the wires on the cigarette lighter are too far for the stock defi harness if i locate in the storage bin. also i need a source of constant power, not switched to the ignition? thanks again.
