Great write up - I'll be doing this before my camping trip this year. Like the rear speaker location too, I thought I would have to put them up in the top corner on a custom mount but that looks much better.

can be done by using the ignition feed to the rear wiper motor to switch a relay mounted in the back and using the permament live you have , this way wiper ign feed has no extra load apart from switching relay and load from aux socket will be on the wire you have spare in trailer plug and will go on and off with ign and no need to have any extra wiring running to front extra BUT CHECK YOU HAVE THE RIGHT WIRES TO DO IT , IF YOUR NOT SURE GET SOMEONE WHO IS !

originally looked behind speaker on my 04 Defender could not see it. Just replace the stop and tail bulb and there it was. Just fitted it handy for my small extension light (freebe from the AA some time ago.) thanks for the info Eric

The speaker panel you installed this in, are they a universal fit throughout all Defenders? I'd like to get hold of a pair for my wifes TD5 90 if they are as there's just the bare rear panel showing at the moment. Great how to by the way, most informative.

I've been looking at installing tow bar electrics to the 2015 SW. The purple wire and black wire behind the right hand speaker pod are omitted on post 13MY models, as previously mentioned.
On the standard 12N wiring kit (britpart/OEM) the purple wire continues through the trailer socket wiring and terminates in a connector, along with the reversing light feed in the void behind the plastic mud shield at the rear (the red wire in the photo below). Click image to enlarge If a wire with a spade connector is dropped through the small hole alongside the main grommet and connected to this branch of the trailer wiring, this could be connected to an aux socket. The negative could be spliced into some of the earth wires for the adjacent lights, no?

I found this wire and ran my multi-meter across it (the purple one with the moulded connector shown in the picture above). Trouble is I am only getting a reading between 0.35V to 1.4V.... I am stumped! Sounds like a short of some sort, or more likely a bad connection, but I'm not sure where? I have tried various earths, and I have a solid earth connection, so its not a earth fault. Any ideas? Cheers Andy |

Click image to enlarge So as a few have said, the later models don't have it, I have 13 pin electrics that I wired up but don't remember seeing a spare wire, I've removed and broken a few plastic screw things but I can get those from halfords. My question is this, are there any other points in the rear where it's just a plug and play piece for aux? I bought a ford aux socket as it matches up perfectly but I now don't have the wire... I can see a purple under the wheel arch from my 13pin electrics (photo) being utilised... So I'm stuck |

Many thanks, finally got round to this in my 2008 110.
First ever real modification I've done on my Defender so learnt how some of the trim comes off and those awful plastic screw/clip things! Click image to enlarge 2008 Defender 110 |
