Tuck the white plug through the aux socket hole (shown)

  Connect the white plug to the black aux plug. Ensure the 3 pins line up with the 3 sockets. & the empty hole(& lip) in the black plug should be at the same end as the empty holes in the white plug (shown)

The car can now be rebuilt. Push the centre console down into place & screw in (remembering to check no wires are in the way)

Clip the centre stack side trim into place - taking care not to scratch the stack with its metal clips.

The hardest bit is getting the top pin to line up (PICTURED) a flat blade screwdriver can help easing this into place
