Welcome Thumbs Up

If you have an aux socket it will be at the back of the center consul ( middle row of seats )

There is a little black flap that lifts up to reaveal the aux socket and a 12 v ciggy plug

Not sure if your spec has the aux socket as they keep changing the spec.

If your unlucky and dont have a aux socket , there is a couple of ways around it if your handy with a screwdriver Smile

You will need to remove the stereo and connect into the wires .There is a lot of confusion as to were the wires end up on the base model.On the hi-line one they go to the passenger footwell and then on to the aux socket in the back

You need to connect ..

RED - RIGHT CHANNEL
BLUE - LEFT CHANNEL
BLACK - GROUND (FOR BOTH ) -the thicker one of the 2

Assuming the tomtom has a 3.5mm jack plug on it ...

Easiest way would be to get yourself one of these

Cut the male plug off the end and you will have 2 main wires and a shield wire.

The 2 main wires connect into the red and blue ...and the shield connects to the black.

Run the other end (female) some were handy so you can plug in your tom tom .

You can use something like this to connect into the stereo wires (Self-stripping wire splice)
