Default sat nav wiring option

May help... I was given a sat nav as a Xmas present for our XC70 having resisted before because of the hassle of wiring it. But in fact it has not been too bad. The camera is mounted on screen top to left of mirror. Cable runs to the left tucked behind trim, down door pillar left of screen behind trim and then out to run under the glove box before joining the centre console to sit in the compartment with the 12v supply. Where necessary I have used sticky tab cable fasteners to add more support to the cable. Before doing this I thought it would look terrible but it doesn't ... we don't notice it now until the suction pad with the camera clip falls off the screen. But that is a minor irritant. I plug the powere supply in when we set off and unplug when the journey ends even though the console supply is switched off when engine is switched off.
Cheers, Phil
