Origin B2 South West
Discussion
Just taking this in a different direction;
Has anyone had their Origin hardwired into their car? What exactly does it entail? Where do the wires go, how do they go behind the dash, and finally has anyone done it themselves, and how hard was it?
If not, where have people gone to get it done in and around Exeter? Basically I'm asking because I don't want to have to be forced to walk into falrauds and get them to do it for £40.

I've hardwired mine into 4 different cars now, dead easy to do.
The biggest issue is getting power to the unit, I've opted to use a permanent live, so that the unit doesn't turn off if I stop to refuel etc.
Other than that, just remove the relevent trim panels in order to hide the cables and make sure that the GPS aerial can see the sky and the laser receiver is low down in the center of the windscreen.
Forgot to say that depending on your car, you may find that if you try to only use the origin cradle as a mounting the unit may pop out occasionally, I got around this by using a no-holes bracket on my dashboard and screwing the origin cradle to that.
