b5 & b5.5 amp installation. engine into car

Post by Dubbull »

right ok as people ask all the time (how i didnt im not sure)
we all know how now that weve done it but if your stood there wondering where on earth to put the power cable for the amp its here (you will have to remove the battery cover,the long one(its easy just take the rubber strip off and pull it out))

there are 5 8mm screw bolts holding the ecu cover on and the 5th is hidden at the back and is very awkward to get at

but hey its better then having to take wipers off and possibly ruining the scuttle panel. once youve removed the screws and lid carefully slide it out and your see some foam. take this out and bang your in the car, take the cover which is under the steering wheel (the panel with the light switch in) and you will be able to see your ecu.heres what it looks like

pass the power cable down there and run it along to the back how you wish. remember power and signal cables go seperately so run rca cables down the other side of the car the the power and remote cables down the drivers side.
i know its not a full guide but im sure now your through into the car you can do the rest.
a random picture that may help
