Default Gentex Mirror install

Hey guys,

I read a lot of the write ups on the installation and they are great. I know you runs the wires from the a pillar to the fuse box for power and then to the mirror. The wires in theA-pillar are hidden and they are hidden in the headliner, but what i dont understand is how they are hidden from the A-pillar to the fuse box? Do you remove the part of the dash?

Also once you run temp sensor wire through the firewall, how is the wire hidden from the firewall on its way up to the a-pillar?

Any help would be appreciated.

Perfect, thanks. So I guess you remove the kick panel as well?

You are correct. Loosen the door sill by pulling straight up, then remove the kick panel. There is a plastic pin that extends from the door sill, down through the end piece of the kick panel.

Thanks, I looked at your website and it is great, but I can't find the grommet in the engine bay firewall. I have a rubber flap, but no grommet. Where is it?

I'm using this guide for when I hardwire my radar detector in.
