driver's side under the dash there is a rubber seal about 3" which plugs a hole in the firewall. I just puta hole in it to run the wire thru.

I have a 96 and ran a 4 gauge wire for my amps. I dont know if theres a difference between a 96 and a 99. Follow the red wire. there was a plug, but i just removed it and put a grommet in its place.

On my 1999 there is no hole in that spot.

yezzir. there should be a spot behind the driver's side strut mount. remove the wheel well guard (about 4-5 screws. not the whole thing) and u should be able to see where to run the wire. inside the cabin it should come out behind the steering column if i remember correctly. if i could do it in the dark with an led light, it shoudl be pretty obvious in daylight.

I think people with 99's should be chiming in because there are some differences between the years. I have a 97 and have tons of space to drill and do whatever I want. Plus I have an auto without abs. Zach's car is a whole different story.

Zack, we should probably try what KB just suggested.

do you have an auto? if so, if you look at where the clutch would be if your car were a stick, youll find a diamond shaped cut in the fabric...

Rip that out and drill a hole there and youll be set

you'll need to pull down your driver side fender lining, and you'll see a big boot with a bunch of wires going through it. You cut a small hole on that boot, and you can run anything throught it. All the wires that run, will end up on dirverside kick panel.

I haven't put a stereo in my 99, but when I had my 92 I just busted out the drill and made myself a hole. Just measure, line it up, and drill a tiny pilot hole to make sure you're not drilling into anything important.

why are you going to the passenger compartment, to install your mevi? When i had a MEVI on my 97, i had everything under the hood. The only problem i had was with the cheap vac can from napa..

I drilled a hole beneath the drivers side dash and put a rubber grommet around the whole and ran the wire through it
