yes indeed i do, there is a big bunch of wires that are shoved through the firewall. If you look down there with a flashlight you should be able to see them. This is where you shouldnt put the cable through. Now if you look a little towards where the steering column is i believe there is a soft rubber grommet that you should be able to see from the engine compartment and through there on the other side (cabin) there is some foam insulation. I would drill a small hole through the rubber grommet and push the cable through there. Make sure to make the hole smaller so you get a tight fit with the rubber and the cable. The grommet is not an inch or so it is pretty big i would say about 3 to 4 inches. if you cant find it let me know, but a flashlight is a must!

Heh?

My 02 has fold down seats. I folded them down when I was wiring up my sub/amp. Ran the wires under the door sills and then under the back seat plastic cover near the door.

look in the trunk, there should be two circle like latches that you will want to pull. They are in the corners of the trunk by the rear deck. let me know if you need any more help.
