i think I routed my 1/0 wire through an existing pass-through just above the passenger/right hand side foot well area. I might have had to remove the plastic thing around where the wheel well is to better access it.

There is a recent posting about this very issue from about a week ago.

Don't sweat it. Just poke a hole in the wiring harness grommet that passes through the firewall on the passenger's side. Be sure not to cut any of the wires.

To fish the wire down through the grommet, you will need someone else to help you. You will also have to remove the glove compartment to have better access.

Be gentle, take your time, and don't lose your temper.

yeah that's the place i was cheking but as i looked under the drivers side on my fathers camry i saw that someone already passed 2 wires for the remote starter in a place just about 3 inches away from the brake booster and pump

is a place with soft metal it seems like the previous guy made a whole with a screwdrive through it or something sharp

i'm getting teh car tomorrow and i'll check if i have the same option (is safe i wont do like the other dude to drill my brake booster)

if it doesnt look right i will pass it by the passenger side

i searched for the other threads but when i went outside it was a different story i dont know if they were talking about a gen3

^ Either side, but don't run the rcas on the same side as the power wire.

IOW if you have the power wire on the drivers side. Run the rcas on the passenger side.


If you take off the front drivers side wheel liner you'll see a grommet against the firewall. Theres a bunch of wires running through it.

You can poke a hole in the grommet and run your power wire thru it. The wire will come out underneath the drivers side dash.

Like everyone said, wheel well behind fender. No drilling needed. Remove the plastic around wheel well and you'll know what we're talking about.
