Does anyone know where to purchase detailed service manuals for the F Type? I'm trying to figure out how to put wires underneath the A pillar and windscreen header for a radar detector, and always like to have a manual set lying around for projects.

 

No service manual but the A- pillar is easily removed.
The A-pillar has 4-7mm bolts on the back that need to be removed once you take the side panel, (just pops out), and the rubber trim that easily pulls out of the way. I had it off in about 7 minutes.

Perfect and thank you!

 

Isn't there any 12 V switched power already in the mirror console so that you don't have to run more wires up there through the A pillar for a radar detector?

 

The plan is to install a Valentine 1, running off the V1 Savvy via the ODB port. I need to run the cable up the a pillar to do this. With the detector power running down under the dash I can also add on/off if wanted without having to reach up near the mirror to do so.

 

I did it without any disassembly of the A pillar. You can just push the cable into the gap between lining and the body. It helps to have some interior tools to do this... Griots sells a good set.
