Hiya. I have purchased a rear electric blind today. Are they easy to fit? It comes with the switch too, I do not know if i have a loom in place yet.... I have just had my electric seats fitted and there was not a loom for that so I fear the worst. I do have the 4 hole fascia panel though with 4 switches, 2 for the heated seats and I do not know what the other two are for. So, surmising that I do not have a loom....What will I need to get it up and running? Thanks. Poppy.

If you have the loom then its used wrapped up in a piece of green foam behind the switch panel.
The options for the switch panel are Heated seats x 2 Traction control, Cruise, Sunblind, Smart Nav

There is a guide for fitting here

If you don't have the loom, you will need the plugs for the blind and switch. There are five wires to the switch: ignition feed, ground, and illumination, plus the two that run to the back of the car and connect to the blind.

Is the blind fitted to a shelf already? The hardest bit would be doing that if it's not.

Hiya Mn190, Duncan. Sorry for the late reply, a little hung over from yesterdays get together with the neighbours.. :-)

I have the switch panel already fitted. I have two spare buttons as I have only used the heated seat one's. Yes, the blind comes complete with the shelf...I expect delivery on Thursday hopefully....Really not in a fit state to attempt anything today... lol. Poppy

I'm sure if you have any problems fitting it you will be welcome at one of the nano meets. The 75/ZT manglers will be very happy to assist.

Hiya Mick. :-)

Well, the kind neighbour who fitted my seats, with a brilliant how to pm'd to me by Trikey has said that he will fit it for me. :-)

Surely it must be a bit easier than fitting the seats...Isn't it?????? Poppy

More fiddly but no more complex..

Good.....

I saw a video clip on you tube of one in action, wow, very impressed.... Just had to buy one...lol. I only have the manual one at the moment.....Poppy

Yep simple enough if its in the shelf. Hopefully the wiring is there!

Is there a how to around here for the job? I could try to explain but have no photos!

Hi Poppy, I've got the Four switch panel which is used for the two heated seats, cruise control and electric blind. You can simply cut a hole in the existing rear shelf to fit it (already marked out I think).

Edit - just seen link :-)

Helloooooooooooo. :-)

I already have the panel fitted as the pic shows.....I do not know if the switch is there, but there is one coming with the blind anyway....Poppy [img][IMG]http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af173/poppy75/P1130280-1.jpg[/img][/img]
