thanks

Getting the Amp wire through the grommet was tbh the most difficult part as there is very little room to get your hand in. I had some help but basically used a screwdriver to pull back the grommet enough to get the wire through the pulled it into the car from the inside.

I think I got the Cigarette Adapter from Halfords but i'm sure other places do them too.

... or you could do as I did -> used cable for antenna amplifier which goes from HU.

Nick7 do you have any pics of the cable for antenna amp, or where it is?
How did you get the power cable inside from engine bay?

Unfortunately, don't have pictures for 'remote' from antenna amp wire.
But, it is easy to locate it -> when you pull HU out, there's small black connector for antenna. On that connector is also cable for antenna amplifier, which you need to cut open and connect remote signal to.

As for rest of setup (like where I pulled wires, feel free to refer to my post about my install):

Nick, to pull HU starts to complicate everything..
For signal to Amp I will use the 12v connector in the trunk.
I tried allready to push hard metal bar throught the hole behind pedals, but in the engine compartment, I could not locate the other end. Did you remove the Air Intake out for pulling throught the power cable?
I have 2.2 CTDi so the engine may look different. I cannot see anywhere behind the engine. Want to install the infinity referrence speakers and also the bitumen multiseal.

Yes, I removed air filter box to have some space there, as otherwise it's close to impossible.
Also, you push cable from inside to engine bay.
