How Do I Know If I Need It?
Gavin came up with a good suggestion if you don't have the automatic rain sensor fitted.
Swing the SAM unit down and unclip plug 9, slide out the grey plug and find connection 14.
If you have no blue or violet wire coming from pin 14, you will need the extra wiring.
I Have Found A Wire In Pin 14
Well the good news is that if you don't have the automatic wiper and headlight sensor, you have the wiring suitable for the additional instuments, the bad news is that you now have to find the plug. Unfortunately it's not usually that easy.
More often than not the plug is situated somewhere behind the centre console.
Removing the radio, lower switch panel and accessory drawers can help you find it.
You are looking for a black flat connector with 10 pins. It will have wires coming from pin:
But you still can't find the connector huh! Annoying. You will have to fit the replacement
loom and splice the SAM cable into the existing wire found at Plug 9 connection 14.
