Finally getting around to installing my trip computer. Is it easier to cut my plug off and graft the trip computer plug into my wiring or remove the pins and install them into my existing clock plug? If this is the case, how do you remove the pins? Where do I get the pin for the dash plug?

Use the clock plug, its easier.

Needed to use the pins. I got the pins out of the plug now and I'll add them to the clock plug. Is the pins from the clock plug the same size as the pins on the dash plug?

yeah, all the same s**t, I personally cut a plug out of the dash with about 50mm of wire left on the pins, smashed it up to get the pins out. Then I crimped 2 wires to the demister, and 2 I soldered together with a suitable length and connected up, funnily enough I had the same problem...
Don't forget to move the white piece back to get the pins in.

Were the pins for the dash plug the same as the clock plug?

On the demister plug is a brown wire with 2 silver rings and the cigarette illumination is a brown wire with 1 silver ring. Does this make any difference?

Another bloody question grrrrrrrrr. Newish cars and all their s**t. On the wiring diagram I have the wire for the trip computer that comes from the dash connector has a shield with a black wire connected to ground. The wire I have installed has the black wire also. Question is how long does the shielded wire need to be and do I really need to connect the ground wire at all?

You shouldn't be touching the shielded black wire for a TC install.
Make sure the plug on the RHS is the correct way up when looking to add the Blue data wire!

That was the easy part. Wiring diagram I have show this wire as having a shield which just makes me start wondering and asking more questions.

Yes I have seen the installing trip computer one and it is very helpful. Do I really need to cut the No.2 wire when on the trip computer there is no pin there anyway?
