DIY amp wire running and radio trim removal - Toyota Yaris Forums

Slick,
I used part of your DIY for installing power wires into my car. I forgot about removing
the plastic piece above the battery, as that would have been very convenient. I also
did not cut the carpet, but removed some bracket up to the top right, so I could pull
the carpet back to route the wires. However, in my impatience, I ended up tearing
the carpet or insulation

, but at least it is not where it can be seen.

I had a heck of a time getting both power and ground wires under the trim
piece around the rear seatbelt. I have the sliding rear seats, so did not
want any wires exposed back there.

I bought a grommet from Napa, but can't find the exact model number.
I think it was for a 3/4" hole. We had a hard time getting that on the
firewall, but ended up lowering the computer to get our hands in there.

So, now I have power and ground cables in the rear by the spare tire, for
future radio amp installation.
