    HOWTO : W212 Rear Bench Swap (Integrated Child Seats - option 248)

    Well done on this very useful guide... Question: did they ever make these in beige leather? Been looking on Herman eBay but only ever seen black... wondering whether a trimmer or even diy bodger could use the covering off my beige seat + some more material and make a beige one that looks...

    Ok thanks (I have a 40a fuse fitted) I couldn’t see anywhere to get a feed through the bulkhead, and nothing found on google, I will have a better look when the weather warms up, and post some pics for people doing it in the future. Cheers for the advice.

    Still on this job, taking too long, weeks, but just doing little bits here and there and enjoying it. wired in this bass adjustment knob on the seat, works a treat to dial in just the right amount without being ott. The rear trim has arrived to go from this: to this: Although I'm not...

    Harmon Kardon retrofit S212

    Carpeted the plinth this morning Right here is where I took the power, passenger footwell, what are the pros and cons of this? I'm worried it's some aux battery under the dash, but it goes to 14v+ with engine running so I don't see too much problem, probably should do a continuity test from...

    it holds to the floor on the pre-existing studs using plastic 'undertray nuts' .. these little neodymium magnets I sank into the plinth, they will be invisible when it's covered in carpet but they are to hold the little 2mm allen key used to adjust the amp here is the amp in situ wired up...

    Harmon Kardon retrofit S212

    spliced an iso connector into the loom before quadlock. that way if I remove this install I can just plug it back together plus If I change head unit the iso plug will be already there. then I made this to take the high level speaker outputs to phono, again if I fit a head unit with low level...

    Next question, when I select my 32Gb memory stick as a source, I see it called LRWM04U which is a bit random and meaningless Is there any way of renaming this, I renamed it in windows but makes no difference, where is this LRWM04u coming from? the UCI? that's not too annoying but what is...

    soundproofing on the rear doors: 3 layers of dynamat equivalent, used Automute, which I rate highly now, was a pleasure to fit. I degreased the inside of the doors with brake cleaner and used a hot air gun to rid any moisture inside door. then I warmed the sheets up in the oven so nice and...

    Harmon Kardon retrofit S212

    fitted the crossover into rear door with m5 nutserts, elected to leave the cover off as no clearance and also it was a potential source of rattles here's the aforementioned tweeter put into original location, I made sure to fabric tape all the wires as per factory here's the speaker spacer...

    Harmon Kardon retrofit S212

    Yes there is a tweeter in the rear, it’s in the doorcard angled upwards, I will get some pics, have already replaced this side with my component tweeter. Ordered the bits just now for some work on the quadlock. Pin13 (no wire currently fitted) is the power antenna signal I believe so will run a...

    Harmon Kardon retrofit S212

    the door aperture is a lot smaller than the front, I found some old 13cm speakers from 1994! that were in my mk1 escort but I still regard them as superior to what came out, doesn't matter too much on the rear, If I ever fade to the rear it's so I don't have to listen to peppa pig in the...

    Harmon Kardon retrofit S212

    Moved onto rear doors, didn't really need mess with them yet but need to get some sound deadening on the outer skin... only way in realistically is to mash them, not nice but has to be done as riveted in from behind I found the best way was use a chisel to get the steel pop-rivet tip out...

    Harmon Kardon retrofit S212

    pic of the rivnut going in in case anybody not seen them before temp sub box fits nice against rear seat back angle but now I've got some head scratching to try and get wires from head unit to here + power wires, although on the plus side there is an earthing point already there from factory
