It's below the radio, but you've got to remove that entire center dash section to get at it.

Well I got i started...

The battery had gotten down so low that it wouldn't crank well any longer so I disconnected the battery and put the charger on it for a couple days. Then I went out about an hour or so ago reconnected the battery and gave it a try. It cranked well but didn't start, so I put the pedal on the floor and cranked it and it fired right up...

The stereo is locked out now but the engine runs. I do have the code for the radio BTW I just have not gone back out and put it in. I've heard that a battery blanket works well for these rides also, any of you guys use one?

THIS PART IS ONLY FOR 300 SERIES DI's. It is not for NAS DI's. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY IF YOU HAVE AN NAS DI. YOU DON'T HAVE A SPYDER.

If you own an NAS DI YOU DO NOT HAVE A SPYDER. I don't care if you have a '96 or later or a '95 or '94. You DO NOT HAVE A SPYDER.

1) The part for sale on the Rovers North Catalog, AMR4956 is for the 300 Tdi. It says so right on the page.

2) Savannah Buzz's link to where the spyder is located is for ROW (rest of the world) Rovers. It mentions Lo, Mid and High line radios. The NAS DI only had one radio and it was a premium radio. The page that link is for is not an NAS DI. It is for a ROW DI.

3) His second link is one I am having trouble finding. I'd love to know exactly which manual it is from. I'll bet dollars to donuts that schematic is not for an NAS DI.

4) Anitchrists link is to someone with a 300 Tdi, not an NAS DI.

5) Click on NabisOne's link to Rovers North and again, it lists the part for a 300 Tdi harness!

6) GPRtech, I'd love to see some real evidence that NAS DI's had the spyder up through 1996 and that is was mysteriously dropped in 1997.

7) I truly feel for all you guys who either bought that part from Rovers North and wasted your money or tore apart your dash like JPSpen in a futile attempt to find a part that was never there.

Mods, the sticky needs to either be removed or cleaned up so that people can see that this mythical spyder is simply not present on NAS DI's.

I have torn the dash apart using the instructions pictured here, and there is no spider unit in my dash. No plug where it used to be. No adapter. No harness to plug in to if I had it.

Maybe a 1996 model not completed till 1997?
From what I have read North American vehicles DO NOT have this harness in the dash. Rovers North part # AMR 4956 states that it is a TDI vehicle. Call rovers north tp confirm
