Duh! Wrong spelling www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk

Might seem like a silly question but... what would be the correct wire spec to use for this job?

On the website link provided, there seems to be quite a variety of different cables to use.


Cable

• Standard PVC Cable
• Thin Wall Cable
• Battery Cable
• Braided Cable
• Cable Bundles
• HT Cable
• Speaker Cable
• Tinned Copper Cable
• Trailer Cable
• Multicore Cable
• Multicore Thinwall
• Cable Reels

I was looking at this cable from their site... would this be up to the job?

Ordered a kit which has at least 3 of the connectors, hopefully has the fourth too, probably the ecu one that would be missing which I could request. Anyway, can you make the entire loom outside of the car and feed it through to make it easier?
Also no pictures on any cruise threads by Rob Bell apart from the link to mgfultimate which is no use really...

Thank you

The thread was started on the 18th, and the link just shows removing glove box and other trims

Andre I have just seen you made some looms before installing, that is exactly what I want to do! Can you remember the details of those looms, i.e. length of wires how many wires per loom and which loom connects what to what?

[Jordan Apex]

Found the length of wire needed in another post by andre, so now just to make the loom for the most part out of the car using tags like andre did (great idea) where ln the steering column is this plug located as I am messaging someone who has it just needs to know where to get it grom and also the ecu one, is it evident which the righy one is? I sent him a picture of the connectors

Hi Jordan Apex,
seems you had already found Rob Bells pictures, I found them very useful and the text which goes with them very informative. It shows the relationship between the various pieces of kit and where to mount and find them.

Just to make it clear I did not make looms outside the car, just ran the wires and connected as required.

All the information regarding the plugs, sockets and connectors are on the "rave manual" disk.

Ahh I see, I was thinking they were of installing the wiring not the components they're helpful just in a different way to what I was thinking, yeah I saw that, I am going to do what Andre did and make the wires on the connectors long enough and tag them so I can spend as little time as possible cramped in the car

Have to see if I still have my copy of that, great informatiob by the way! Never done any wiring before, good thing my friend is comfortable with it

Gentlemen, one more question, do the steering wheel controls come tied together in the same connector, for both radio and cruise, under the airbag? what I saw in pictures, it seems so, I already have the radio controls installed, so should I expect to find a different connector only for the cruise control loom or I need both controls wired in one connector? I also suspect the loom is installed since I found the connector for interface and mounting bracket SCB100211 (in the fuse box). Will look for the connector near ash tray, but still need to find out how to further dismantle below the radio area (so more questions, actually). Thanks for input, is valuable, for sure.
