Kuda installation By Glovebox

Has anyone installed a kuda leather OEM leather mount by the glovebox?Considering doing it myself but I don't have or have seen a video tutorial anywhere for the electrical part of the installation. Does anyone have access to the schematics? Thank you again in advance for everyone's input now and in past.

I've done it and it couldn't be simpler. One hidden screw and you've got a factory-install look. I simply ran the power cord to the 12V plug under the glove box. The wires are 100% hidden.

Total install time is 30 minutes if you're crazy anal (like me).

It's very easy. From the Kuda phone mount, simply use a phone cable with a USB connector at the other end. Connect the USB connector into a 12-volt plug which you simply plug into the 12-volt socket under the glove box. There's zero need to tap into the fuse box or ground.

If that's not clear, PM me and I'll talk you through it. Believe me, it's incredibly simple.
