Slowly getting there - other priorities at present....
The video interface box will be tied to a strut behind the drivers side transmission tunnel trim, pretty much alongside the RNS-D.
The XCarlink and DVB-T boxes will go in the drivers knee cubby - see attached photo, currently off the car.
The XCarlink clips into a supplied bracket which neatly fits on the left side, giving access to the SD card slot (and USB if needed).
The tuner I've mounted on a stiff black plastic ledge made from a DVD case!
The ledge is secured into the cubby with black Velcro, as is the tuner onto the ledge.
Plenty of wires to arrange tidily and connect; refitting this panel will need care and it also has the diagnostics port to replace below!
