Tips are always a good thing!
Alboy29 said:Well try to find any factory wiring, and piggy back off of that..steer clear of any place you may plan to drill in the future, and its pretty straight forward.
Generally, along any Pillar or part of the Frame that you cna place the wire behind a panel, and then up into the headliner..
What kind of wire do you mean by Smart siren? The control head wire? or Power/Ground for Lights mounted inside a vehicle?
HILO said:Take your time. Disconnect the battery if you have post air bags. Remove sun visors, overhead consoles and lights, and all post trim (which involves removing B post seat belt anchors), and try not to bend the headliner. If I do not have a helper, I've used pillows (cheap dollar store ones) as braces when dropping the head liner.
movi3king said:Thanks for that.
Well the power and ground would have to get to the trunk. Figuring to do that through the frame foot panels.
And headliner would need to be for control head. Customer would probably want it mounted center front roof between seats...
