I was thinking about that, or the rear defrost wiring. I wasn't sure how I would find switched power controlled by the ignition switch position so went with the phone plug option. Wanted to avoid drilling holes too.

I'd like to see how you wired that up.

Quite Pleased with myself :)

I got mine installed today, the process went very well. Thanks to all for the tips. I went with the phone plug under the centre console, it was easy to get to and easy to find. Also happy with my colour selection Fred, your product adds a lot and modernizes the look significantly!

Fred,

I know I promised to cool my heels but I'm jealous of all these guys installing their sky breakers. Can you update?

Thanks, Larry

Larry,

I recommend using the contact form on his website. Please keep in mind that these are quality items and he is just one guy. I know Fred, and I guarantee you he is working diligently on the orders in the order in which they were received. Please hold fast, friend.

Charles

I'm thinking Fred might be a tad pre-occupied with weather at the moment

Thousands evacuated as super typhoon bears down on Shanghai - Channel NewsAsia

Hope you and the family are riding this out ok Fred....all the best!

That is what I would call a perfect color match! Nice work
