Gus,
Yes I guessed as much too.
I'm sure he will come back to this issue - when he gets a chance

OK, I did some looking in my car. I was close, but off by 12" (0.33M for you non Americans). What you will need to do is to open up the boot of your car and slide the trunk cover off. Next you will need to remove the black plastic trim that is right at your knees inside the boot (4 screws holding it in place). From there, you will be able to slide the trunk carpeting covering the rear tail light to your left (as you are facing the front of the car). This will expose the back of the tail light and the electronics for your NAV/CD changer. If you look about 6"/15CM above the floor of the trunk near the changer, you should see a 3 wire plug there. It will have a brown wire, a brown/light green wire, and a black wire. This is the plug that you are after. The brown wire is rated for 30 amps and is powered directly off of the battery, the brown/light green wire is a 20 amp circuit that is switched on and off with the ignition, and then the black wire is your ground wire. The plug is restrained to the body of the car. But, this can be easily pulled out to get better access to. You may be able to slide a general male space connector into the plug to make things work for you. Otherwise, I would tell you to go to a local electronics shop and find yourself a plug that can handle what you are looking to run and cut the factory plug off and use that new plug.

if you need more assistance, let me know.
