Wiring through Fire Wall ?

Denalio · #1 09-13-2007, 01:06 PM

I realize that the E70 is still fairly new and that the mods are coming slow so this may have not been investigated as of yet. However, does anyone know where I could pull through a wire from the engine bay through the firewall into the cabin? Maybe there is an unused grommet somewhere? I would like to avoid actually drilling my own hole into the firewall.

There should be rubber grommets on the left and right side in the engine bay...

Are these unused grommets( blanks)? Where exactly are they? Have you seen or used them?

Thanks.

The reason I said this was I have instructions for a alarm retrofit and they say to pass the cables through the rubber grommets., they don't provide a picture though.. sorry but I haven't actually checked the engine bay myself...

Denalio,

Once you are done with your installations maybe you can share the procedure with the rest of us. I too am interested in installing a radar detector but do not want to place it in the middle of dashboard/windshield.

Best.

Will do. It won't be for a couple of weeks since it is coming from Australia. On back order right now.
