Where do you put the wire through from the inside of your car to get to the battery? I can't find a spot.. do you have to take some stuff apart to get through or what?

the firewall should have a grommet in there where all the wiring from the inside goes to the outside. usually on the driver side. sometimes its in the middle though

if you tell me what kind of car you have i can help. if you want you can drill a whole like a mm bigger than you wire fit it through, somewhere hiden though so it looks clean and just seal it when your done.

go into the engine bay of the car in both cars. look for a large grouping of wires usualy on the top right or left side, fallow them to where they pass through the fire wall. when you find this pull away the rubber from eather the inside or outside what ever is easier. you wont be able to completly remove the rubber piece out of the car but move it so you can access it easier. then cut like an x in it like the top of a plastic thing on a cup where you put the straw in then just feed the wire through that.

<b>EASY WAY</B>

run the wire just below the weather strippin gon your hood, all the way to your passenger mirror, through the little gap betwen your hood and your fender, in through your door frame, right into the carpet.

Yeah, probably. It differs in color deck to deck, but its usually blue. Just hook it up before you put everything back in and see if it runs.

Take it somewhere and get it installed professionally. It will cost no more than $50
