The bottom of the drivers door has a recess in both the door and the weather stripping just below the review mirror, it is there to run the cable into the car so the car can then be locked. Simple, but effective factory design.

Actually....

...there are TWO cutouts on BOTH doors. One at the bottom, and another at the "corner" of the door below the door jam.

Use the cigarette lighter and the cutouts in the doors. Works like a champ.

I use this one, very happy: CTEK Multi US 7002 - CTEK Battery ChargersCTEK Battery Chargers

Thanks, guys. I appreciate the answers. Mine didn't come with a cigarette lighter connector. I can see why that would be a nice option.

Brilliant. That's a smart design!
