| − | The 3.5mm jack end goes into your AUX socket in your glovebox, tuck the wire behind the plastic trim down the passengers side of the center console

| |
| − |
| |
| − | you will notice the negative wire (black) has a eyelet terminal, i removed the mounting skrew from where the cup holder sits and placed the eyelet inbetween the plastic and metel frame, so the skrew passes through the eyelet.
