Default It isn't because of the radar det...

you need to do something about that battery. The RD doesn't draw that much power...if it's just left on overnight (and I've done it), the car should have more than enough juice to start right up.

I'm about to install it inside the shift boot under the leather. Nice write-up in TFA.

Default can use velcrow and put the mut/kill switch on side of console against knee bolster. And run the

wires through the knee ballast. Get the power from the fuse box (one of the ignition related fuses) and ground it there. Run the telephone wire down your A piller and into the knee bolster area towards the mute switch. Sorry if sounds complicated, isnt perfect but works well and keeps the button hidden to others but easy to reach for you.
