I finally found some time to install my Skybreaker. I mounted the control dial inside the manual holder under the steering wheel, which I never use, and routed the wiring alongside my rear speaker install up the passenger side of the car (under the dash and sill). The cable is just long enough to reach. I tapped into the center console phone plug for power.

The most annoying part was cutting a hole in the windscreen frame, and then milling out a groove for the wire (still a work in progress). I drilled a small hole, and filed the rest of the opening, to avoid damaging the frame. I also had some trouble getting the Skybreaker into the frame. It's a very tight fit, but I finally got it.

Fred, amazing work, and thanks for accommodating my modified design! I can still see clearly out my rear view mirror, but get to enjoy the 'Porsche' as well.
Thank you!
