This approach has worked really well and I'd like to replicate it in the XC60.
My plan is, as before, to bring the cable down the left-hand side of the front screen between the glass and A pillar, thus avoiding any issues with the A pillar airbags.
The question is where next on the XC60, where is the most appropriate source to take a switched supply from, i.e fuse box, and which fuse.
I'd like to use the supply for the 12V sockets if the fuse is easily accessible and the supply is switched as I don't intend to use the socket in the centre console at all.
Last point, what size fuses doe's the XC60 use, micro, mini or standard.
Thanks in advance for any advice or guidance.

Your plan is sound, behind the glovebox is one of the many fuse boxes, and in there is the fuse for the 12v socket in the centre console which is a IGN switched live. They are the smaller blade fuse type, not sure if mini or micro.
