Rear Seat USB 'A's' & 'C's' -

Got fed up of arguing with LR about weather my XS should have them or not.

Removed the blanking covers to check if I had the looms - yes 2 off doubled over & taped up.
Moved both front seats as far forward as possible.
Undid the 2 top screws from in the arm rest (after sliding off the covers)
Undid the top 2 screws from the center console side covers.
Popped the lower footwell clips on the same side covers.
This allows enough room to carefully bend the side cover out to get at the lower retaining screws.
Note for this a small/short Torx 25 socket is best - I wedged a small block of wood in the gap to keep it open whilst I undid the screws.
That's it 6 screws - the rear cover then unclip with a small pull straight to the rear of the car.

This allowed me to get at the 2 looms.
I undid the tape and straightened the cables.

Doing all of this confirmed the retro fit was going to be possilble (for me!)

So I then re-fitted everything.
Got on the internet & ordered 2 USB 'A's, 2 USB 'C's & 2 loom splitters -
All from the very good Powerfuluk team.

All arrived nicely boxed in 36 hours -

Carefully fished the 2 car looms through the holes in the rear panel. (fingers will fit - a pair of needle nose pliers helped too)
Clipped the new splitter looms to the existing car looms.
Fed one of the new looms back trough & out the next hole.
Decided what layout/order I wanted the USB's & clipped them to the new looms.

They very carefully pushed the new USB's into their holes.

I made sure I inserted all of the USB's about half way first - then did a careful final push & click.
There is enough room behind the panel but I made sure as much as possible that none of the cables were pinched or badly folded.

Just to check - have plugged a phone in to each & all lit up saying on charge.

Job done - all much inline with the Powerfuluk video - for me it was about getting the confidence to get started, must have watched the video a dozen times.

I thought there was a TSB on this? Eiger Grey MY23 D250 SE with bits. Known as Noddy.
