Access behind cig lighter (puma)
Hi, can anyone tell me how to get access to the back of the cig lighter, does the radio need to come out for that section of dash?
Thanks its only a car!

Your welcome. Seems more scary than it really is. Biggest thing to be careful of is anything sharp scratching the front of the dash. Other than that you'll be fine. Thumbs Up WeWillWinπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Ah not to worry then. Just wondering as if you had a Tom Tom or Garmin unit I could make you a hardwire kit so that you wouldn't have the power wires trailing around or in the lighter socket. It would all be hidden.

No worries, thanks for the offer.
Just got the radio out, jvc one, no keys so used a hacksaw blade (as a key, not a saw!)
I'm fitting the winch cut off switch and need to take power from the cig lighter to the switch, I've fitted the switch in between the cup holders, looks neat if I do say so myself Rolling Eyes
Thanks for your help and guide Wink its only a car!

Steve... Are you referring to me?

You did a fantastic job for me, thank you

It's great to see someone taking time and paying attention to detail to do it properly.

A huge help, thank you
