Ok I've ruled out a few things. The fuse blew again today so I replaced it on the side of the road and continued to my destination. When I got home I decided to disconnect the earthing cable and see if it effected DVD/nav operation by driving it down my street and it did so I'm pretty sure that the cable was earthed correctly. As the car is only 3 weeks old, I've decided to reconnect the original grey cable back to stock and see if it continues to blow the indicator fuse as it might be separate problem to the nav mod. Otherwise its leading me to think that the mod is tripping the fuse. Fingers crossed that this is not the case. If anyone has any knowledge on this with the 2013 model it would be greatly appreciated.

I have a 2013 wrx and I have just read this post, so I will do it and let you know if I have the same problem.

Cheers

Ok could not wait, got out of bed and did it. Took me all of 5mins.

Will let you know if I have problems.

Cheers

I did the mod a few months back and no problems whatsoever. Fingers crossed.

Cheers Guys. So far no fuses blown since re-attaching the stock cable 6 days ago so I think its something to do with the earthing the grey cable. The cable was obviously earthed and working, but it must of been conflicting with something else thats blowing the indicator fuse. From memory the indicator fuse mainly blew when I had the dvd playing for a passenger and when I had to put the parker/headlights on. Anyways, if I get time I'm gonna drop into an auto-electrician on the way home today or tomorrow to see if I can resolve this problem. I mainly want this mod so my partner can watch dvds and operate the nav on long trips.

Ok so I had no luck with a few auto electricians who really didn't want to touch it, so I decided to try a new approach and earth it to a different place in the car before seeing anyone else. I ended up running a longer cable behind the glove box and screwing it onto the plate behind the side cover near the passengers feet. So far so good as I've been running the dvd constantly as a test during the week and I haven't had any problems. I guess the nav shell in my car isn't grounded very well or something else is connected to the shell that is causing the indicator fuse to blow. Anyway, hope this helps anyone else having the same problem. Thanks for tutorial.

This mod worked perfectly for me first time. thank you.

Think this is the latest whereis map dvd iso for MY11/12 sat nav if anyone wants it.

Do you physically have this particular file?

Really? There were 5 seeds all day yesterday, averaged about 100kb/s so took a while.

But yep, I have it and it works fine in my car.
