I don't have a digi cam with me but the wire can go under ur roof liner and then down the pillar to ur fuse box. Unfortunately I couln't find a 12v wire in the fuse box that would tirn off with ignition so I just ran the wire underneath the glove box and ultimately to the cigarette lighter wires.
I dunno, i really like my Smartcord. But what ever floats you boat. I spliced power from the "Power Supply" (Cig Lighter) and grounded it behind the Headunit. Its fused with a 10 or 20 amp bus fuse, and Ive never had a problem with it.
