Nice! So you found another way to get the cable without having to remove the headlight or the pazsenger tire. Good work. Is it easier to fish the cable to tbe tow hook cover from the latch?

I have one of these. it fits in the rear shelf. Didn't have to jump start the car but it gave the car enough juice to open the frunk so I could replace the battery.

I also have this Cobra jumpack. Haven't figured out if it will power up from inside the car yet though.

I still routed it down behind the bumper to the tow hook and made sure it has an unobstructed route
