Don't know if there is one under there mate....i ended up sending one to the boot (purple/white wire on the radio control module)
Sanj may know if there is one up the front there????
I had to route my intravee cable to the centre console anyway so i did mine then ;)

there is a good earth under there mind a 10mm nut iirc :thumbsup:

x555's suggestion is a gooden but if you don't want to lift everything up then ther is the fuse box to the right compartment. described here with piccy:

Test it first though, no point goin to all that effort and finding it doesn't work. Should work when you switch to position two, just before the car starts.

Earth is where x555 has advised, you can use the cigarette socket earth too, that's a thick gauge wire.
