    Ah ok, as you can't bend the tube, best to try and feed it through the grommet that is in the firewall on the drivers side. Power it from the ciggy lighter

    I brought mine in behind the glovebox because there is better access but it's a long run and i only had to run wires.

    Best way for a mech one. Just make sure the tubing is good quality that wont crease.
