if youre going to do it, do it properly, pull the dash out, pull the whole loom out ect
i did it with dash in and didnt remove the loom, was nothing but drama's, shit not working, stuff shorting out, blowing fuses, massive mess under the dash
i ended up starting again with a new loom and left it in the stock spot and just stripped it to bare minimum
this is what i ripped out
started again with a fresh loom
stripped off everything i didnt need and put it all back in
