Definitely would have been easier in your case, no question. My back still hurts from laying in the floor boards tracing wires. You'll understand when you put it in the ti.

My only advice to you right now is to pass the wires individually through the fuse box. You'll be tempted to do at least two at a time, but it just sucks enough not to work.

Wiring diagrams are invaluable for this project.

haha, yeah, my back does not hurt at all because i was sitting in the seats doing it.
lol

but i know what you mean, i had to run wires in a e32 750il under the dash because a brain shorted and ate up some wires, not too fun.

and thanks for the tip on the running of wires, i actually said to myself, hmm i wonder if i could fit two through at a time, right before i looked at your post. lol

well, in my opinion installing is easier, because i know tons about electronics, and tracing down all the wires and removing them from various harnesses was allot harder than just running them independently of the harnesses.

oh, and id buy your cruise control kit, its easier to install then mine, lol.
