I had a Garmin dashcam installed by Halfords some time ago but it has given up the ghost for the second time and I have decided to replace it with a Nexbase product, the 522GW. The Garmin and Nexbase use different USB plugs and having found that a simple USB converter was too wide to fit into the new window mount base. I decided I would purchase the Nexbase hardwiring kit. Having consulted previous articles within this forum and the pictorial guide on the other site I decided this was within my capabilities (No - age does not always bring wisdom!). i removed the previous installation EXCEPT in the fusebox there is a bottle shaped blackplastic Garmin marked device which I assume is the transformer to convert the 12v to 5v, visible in the picture with the wires coming from its top.
This is located behind a plastic grid which covers much of the fuse box aperture, is firmly affixed - I know not how - and cannot be removed through the existing opening using my fingers. I removed the three screws holding the grid to the framework but cannot remove it as it seems to be attached in some way to the wrap around fascia panel. Is it possible to safely remove the two screws holding the fuse box base to the bodywork and slide that to one side in order to get access to this 'bottle' - or am I better off admitting defeat and handing the whole lot to an auto electrician?
