Battery terminal connections?

Hi all, it seems that my battery is dead / dying on the car, does anyone know what connections the terminals use so I can bring the relevant tools and a charger home so I can get it charged and see what happens. I would of checked before I left but was in a rush. Sent from my ONE A2003 using Tapatalk

Re: Cruise control retrofit

for a specialist to do it for you, you'll be paying an extra £100 - £200 for the labour.

I installed mine myself. straight forward for the most part. the hardest part is getting the airbag off

i'm sure you should be able to find someone to code the car afterwards either for free or for a few ££

Re: Cruise control retrofit

cost wise is about £200 ish for the parts, then you just need someone to code the car if you don't have the equipment

MFD and steering wheel controls will all work if you use the default radio / music apps the volume and mute button works regardless. track change only works on specific applications. it might have changed on the later v...
