Well done, glad it works ok.

BTW - I can’t charge via the front terminals if the switch is off.

Er yes.  That is exactly as expected.

So, how does this work, you open the drivers door with the key, climb over the seat, drop the rear seat backrest and operate switch or can you just reach the rear door and open it from the inside?

You could open front door with key then reach rear handle to unlock. In my case car is parked in a safe place so I don't need to lock the door, makes it easier. If seat is put back I'm sure a their would be puzzled as to why the things doesn't start, good security.

Nice and straight mounting position  :))

Not sure if I could be bothered to be in the 60s every time I started the car though.

I knew I should have straightened it before taking a pic. I’ll do that when I get some Velcro. Yeah 60s not much fun but the joy of hearing the car turnover is just so appealing right now.
