only thing i can say is read the stickies and FAQs mate they should help you wire it up
you also get a diagram in the wiring kit usually
its really easy to do dont worry, just remember to disconnect the battery by undoing the negative

Ok cheers, Are there any decent guides in the Premium section?
I fitted the HU earlier, little problem though, it seems to be losing all the settings everytime I remove the key from the ignition. Any idea why?

Ok got everything here apart from the sub.
Just had a little play with the wiring and I've a got few questions...
How do I get the power cable through to the battery? Do I have to make my own hole? Also, how am I supposed to hide the thing? Does it go under the carpet?
Is it best to run the power cable and 1 speaker cable down the left side and the phono cable, remote cable, and the other speaker cable down the right?
I take it they run from the boot, down the side of the rear seats, then tucked under the carpet until under the dash? Thats the only way I can think of doing it. Anyone got a better idea?
Cheers

there are pictures of the grommet in the stickies you have to get the power to mate, also where to hook it up and where to earth it
its best to take all the seats out mate makes things a lot easier
run the powercable and speaker cable down the passenger side
down the middle run the RCAs and remote wire
down the drivers side another bit of speaker cable
all tucked under the carpet yes
