Cool... thanks. Did you go behind the rubber trim, or did you actually take out the covering between the roof and dash (to put the wire behind it).

I had a tech hardwire mine. He uses power off the sunroof harness. I dont recommend doing this unless you know what wire...

Cool. Wasn't too keen on taking the trim off! Besides, if I ever did need to pull it out for servicing, I imagine it would be much easier if it was just under the rubber.

Yeah... don't think I would go near the sunroof myself (too much stuff to break there).
