How is the wire routed to hide them. I assume through the head liner. I have a 2001 Dodge Ram.

On my jeep liberty I tucked the wire up along the front edge of the headliner and removed the A-Pillar cover and routed the wire behind it.

In my Ford Excursion (same as Super Duty) I removed the A-pillar trim and ran the wire up from under the dash. Then simply pushed it up into the headliner. The extra cable is coiled up under the dash. Very easy.

i went under the headliner, and down the driver side a pillar. then down the gap between the dash and firewall, then went to the obd2 port and zip-tied the excess wire under the dash.

I routed up the driver side post, then over the top of the head liner to a point just above the mirror. On my rig, the 6 Foot cable was not long enough. You can buy a standard Ethernet cable ( I chose 6 feet, black) to work as an extension. You'll also need a union to connect the extension to the provided cable. All pretty straight forward. By using the extension, you can hide all the above dash routing, and still unplug the provided cable and scan gauge to use in another vehicle. I needed NO tools, but I did use some zip ties to secure the cable. I'm VERY happy with my scan gauge. Should have bought it long ago.

The more air flow the better! I have my 2 in a custom box for my Dodge Ram and i had to drill 2 holes and put pvc pipe in for more flow. Works really well :)

I ended up having to cut and splice wires together due to not having enought length for install. I have a crew cab pickup truck and the only wires that I don't have to splice are the ones on the windshield, the ones in my grill and back window are spliced.

Not the way it comes from the factory. However, the wires are accessible on the back side so you could wire it up to work that way if you wished. Hope this helps!

I haven't installed them yet looks like it'll be at least a (few hour) day task tho..running and adding wire..firewall to inside switch or splicing into wires on headlamps. I'll post info when/if I ever do mine in the near future. Let me know if/when you do yours. Good luck

YES-- you just have close your eyes when you do it--unless you can find another way to access your backup wires---I used an Epoxy putty to pack the hole around the wire---made it absolutely water tight, and really not that visible----hope this helps john b

This setup is far superior to splicing wires. If your truck has the OEM "towing package" wiring, the pigtail plugs directly into the trucks harness. The wires at the trailer connector end are sealed to keep all the road grime out. I threw the fuses away.

No they do not. I ran the wires beside the mount and used a small block tie wrap to secure it you can't even see the wires. This is an excellent mount.

Hello, I`m actually an installer at Best Buy. To answer your question, not that hard. You would have to take the cover off the rear hatch to get the wires in to car. I would recommend maybe having someone professional install it.

I installed mine hard wired to the ceiling. There is a length of metal piping to conceal the wires. It was a bit too low for my hallway so I had to cut a few inches off with a pipe cutter. Good luck :)

Depends on where u wanna put it on. It has 2 wires +and-. you can get power from your fuse, this is the easiest way. Cable is visible but you can make it to not visible by hiding wires under dash or carpet.

Routing the cable depends on the vehicle you are putting it into. The Genius comes with a plug for the cigarette lighter and on both vehicles I installed the camera, I was able to push the wire between the windshield and the plastic molding. I followed the wire down the windshield to the bottom of the doorpost and then was able to push it under the door weatherstripping until the bottom of the dash. From there I found a way to route it under the glove box to the center console. Now the only wire that shows is from the plug in the cigarette lighter to where it goes under the dash (about 6"). It takes a little patience and innovation to hide it neatly.

I took the side trim out and ran it behind it. Once the side plastic is out it loosens the roof up and I tucked the wire behind it. I ran the power from my fuse box which in my vehicle is located on the driver's side. I hope this helps. Good luck.

I put it at the top of the windshield under the window trim. My windshield has a black trim on it so you could not see it inside or out. I ran the wire up the "A" pillar trim.

Carefully pull down white plastic vent cover. Pinch the 2 metal spring loaded wires and slide down the cover to expose the spring wires. Pinching the wires together allows them to be removed from the housing. If you need more help you can email me and we can set up a phone conversation for you. Good luck for now.

This has to be hard wired into you vehicle through a 12 volt wire. It requires you to cut your headliner, as do any of the roof mount systems you will look at. If you don't know what your doing I would have a professional install one for you, depending on the vehicle year make and model it can be fairly easy to very tricky.

I purchased this item but never have made use of it. Although I have never installed it, I don't think it makes a difference which direction you feed the wires through. If I recall, I believe there are a couple of set screws that will splice into each wire to make the contact. Hope this helps. Steve
