Just FYI I am electronics savvy and have crimpers, pins etc... Just curious how others tied this in. If there are some lessons learned that I could use so I don't repeat mistakes... Thanks!
On the fire wall, driver's side, there is a round rubber plug. I drilled a small hole in that plug and ran the wires from the inside of the car to the engine bay. I then ran them into the fuse panel and got power and ignition from there. I ran the wire up inside the dash so you don't see them. The blue computer board for the kit fit perfectly under the radio when you have it removed. Push it down and then insert the radio back in for a clean look. I mounted the key pad on the left of the steering wheel just above the vent. Let me know if you have questions.
