It was an easy job, I just unpluged the Cig lighter fuse its number 8 by the way. You just plug the postive wire in and then ground the negative wire, then you should be done and reading 12 to 12.6 volts and 14.3 when the car is running.

First Start be prying of the A-pillar, you will have to unplug some wires if you have the factory car phone

Next you want to drill a hole in the pillar to allow the wires to slide throw

Now you have to run the wire which is easy just push it throw the top corner by the vent, now you have to have a plug to attach to the wire.

Now repeat, this time do it with the negative wire and ground it at one of the copper bolts, after that push the wires through the hole in the A-pillar

Now clip the A-piller back on with the wires through

Now attach the Pod and pull the wires through like so

When your done with the top wiring you should then plug int he positive wire into the fuse socket 8

When you finish you should be reading 12 volts
