Its really not that hard, I highly suggest you do it on your own and save yourself some serious cash. I can take pictures for you of any of the steps if you need. Start at the radar detector (put it on the windshield), go across the headliner, down the right a-pillar (put wire under black flap that lifts up), and into the box to the fuse box. Very simple so far, and half the work is done. I went through a little gap underneatch the glove box which comes out directly in front of the fuse box. Now open your glove compartment, turn screw on each side to take off back cover (1/2 turn loosens it, they're not normal screws just locks). Negative side of your wire put an eyelet ($1 at radio shack, bring the bolt so you can get the right size one) on and put this under the bolt. Buy that one part I reccomended (make sure to buy the one for the mini fuse), and use the pdc/homelink fuse location. Turn on your car and see if it powers up, if not pull out the fuse thing and turn it around 180 degrees. That part explains it in the directions..
PM me if you have any questions, or post here. it took a while to figure out since I didn't know where anything was, if your car was here I could do it in 5 minutes now..
Try it on your own for a few, struggle a little maybe, you'll get it. Then you have the money in your wallet, and the satisfaction of doing your own work. I'd say if you looked at any part of my install it looks 100% clean and professional...
Good luck..
Josh
