IMG 8071  Pacifica. IMG 8072 IMG 8074  Beauty. IMG 8075  Oopsie. IMG 8076  Felt that. IMG 8077  Snap. Did at least find the GPS pretty easily.
IMG 8078  This glasses case was pretty squished looking but did its job. IMG 8079  Time to shim the GPS bar on the Tuareg with a lot more material. 5 layers of aluminum can instead of 2. IMG 8080  We prepare the foam to keep the captive nuts from popping loose. IMG 8081  This wiring contains our target. IMG 8083  These tabs need to be pulled out to get some room to work. IMG 8084
IMG 8086  This is our power supply. But we want a direct tap and not a USB cable connection. IMG 8087  These are the wires. IMG 8088  Separate them so they can be tapped individually. IMG 8089  Work in progress. IMG 8090  Posi-taps work like this. IMG 8092  The pliers were to squeeze the grey bit so the red bit could engage it.
IMG 8093  Wire threads through this end. IMG 8094  Like so. IMG 8095  Switched power is making it to the mounting plate. Yee haw. IMG 8098  Aluminum shim in place on this side. IMG 8099  If you can recognize the brand of beer, yay? IMG 8101  Spliced in wire was pretty long. We keep it intact and bundle it up.
IMG 8102  All back like before. IMG 8103  Mounting plate time. IMG 8104 IMG 8105  Like so. Final angle will need some ride testing. IMG 8106  Not sure why these stand proud, but they do. IMG 8107  Spacers allow for those bolts to stick out.
IMG 8108  Mounted. Comes on with key on. Yay. IMG 8109  All good. Time to put the screen back on.
