Hi MAMB0
Thanks for your reply, I guess I will have a 3rd cable as well because I have CD Changer preparation, so thanks for the info.

Andystobbs I have read a bit more about about this....
I already have option 6FL, i use a pen drive for music.
I could put in wireless charging or put in a USB picking up power from the cigarette lighter
but it seems a little pointless as i can use an adapter for that....

my understanding is that the pin out for the cradle adapter doesn't connect to the sharkfin antenna but instead uses inductive coupling.
so does anyone use that ??
can any one confirm that ??
or do you still need the clip in cradle ??

thanks in advance
Paul

*BUMP*

OK I have fitted the tray !! wasn't to difficult....

MAMB0
FYI I didn't have a 3rd cable ! I thought it would as I have lots of factory options...
does anyone know what it's for ??

the plans I had for using the antenna (& inductive charging !)
have come to naught because my (smallish) phone won't fit in the hole !!
who knew ?

I removed the vents with the ashtray behind the armrest and don't seems to see the socket to disconnect the 3rd cable. Do you happen to have a picture to show where it's located?

I did successfully disconnect the other 2 cables, just have issues with the 3rd one.
