Usually it mentions running wires thru the firewall, etc. Is it not possible to tap into the Battery wire in the ignition harness (12 V + constant) to do this as is done with most aftermarket security/remote starters? I'm interested if anyone has gone this route, according to the Tech section this would be a Brown wire. Thanx in advance...   Eric Pena (Evalp) Senior Member Username: Evalp Post Number: 499 Registered: 06-2002 Posted on Wednesday, May 07, 2003 - 10:59 pm:    Yes, you can do that. You can also tap into the fuse box under the steering colum and to a fuse that has power all the time. Search the archives for more information.
