Route the two branch-off lines of the iPod interface wiring harness (8) in the footwell as per the picture.
Route the iPod interface wiring harness (8) as per the picture under the floor covering through the opening (see arrow) and secure in place using a felt strip (22).
The iPod interface wiring harness (8) has to be fastened on the floor with at least one felt strip (22) as illustrated in the picture. Otherwise, there is the risk of damaging the iPod interface wiring harness (8) when the step plate is installed.
Fasten the two branch-off lines of the iPod interface wiring harness (8) to the on-board wiring harness using cable ties.
The remaining couplings and connectors will be connected at a later point in time.
Fasten the excess length of the iPod interface wiring harness (8) to the on-board wiring harness using cable ties.
