I just mounted mine hanging from the rear shelf. The wires are behind the liner toward the right side.

did u find it?

it took me like 3 tries because i'm a retard. hopefully u found em. u have to look at the bundled up cords near the battery and follow the cord all the way towards the rear right of the car under the spare tire and passenger paneling... it has a parallel connector on the end of it.

let me know. it's a lot of searching but when u find it, it's like finding the hole for the first time. LoL.

the cable is in the right side of the trunk under the carpet panel......I have the factory changer (retrofilled it) mounted into the side compartment, which is the best location in my opinion.....otherwise putting it in the middle of the parcel shelf, a little further inside mind you, is another good position (since you have an aftermarket receiver without the factory mount)......
