[quote="Beamer"]
I have an xtrons unit. Now to try and find a full length wiring loom. If you don't mind me asking what we're you charged.

I cant remember the exact amount, think it was £250-300 but that included all wiring looms and VAT

Does the loom you've found include the steering wheel control box or does that come with the head unit??.

Not sure but it is on eBay here is the number 181764556468 .
I am doing away with the say nav etc in the boot. Surely could power at the front of the car and pickup the speakers.

Well sorted. Spoke to a guy this morning and he has done them before. Only draw back is £180.

Can't be bothered messing around so that's the road I am going down.
