tomtom/satnav charging wire re-routing

[jobberwock]

Well following advice and ideas in response to an earlier post of mine (thankyou very much) I've come up with a very simple solution to what to do with the charging wire from the cigar lighter to the satnav . Took me about 15-30mins. Tools required...a bent coat hanger.
The most difficult bit being to remove the plastic facia around the front digital display (the greatest difficulty being to summon up the courage to do it!) but even this turned out quite simple really.

I've attached some photo's that show the result.

Basically I removed the surrounding facia panel of the display and then removed the two torx screws securing the display (this procedure is fully documented with photo's in the useful hints/guides section in this forum). I then used a length of stiff wire(coat hanger) and pushed this up inside the plastic shroud etc up to the opening at the top. I attached the sat nav lead to the bottom of this wire and then pulled through. I refitted the display and then the surrounding facia(there is a neat little gap in the middle for the wire to sit). A little tip here...The facia panel responds very well to a good thump when refitting .

All looks good and has done away with the wire trailing up the front etc.
