Arrow Battery to interior for hands free.

Hi
I just bought a Sony Ericsson HCB-300 and i need to connect it to the battery from the cabin. does anyone know where i can take the cable to pass it through to the engine bay? I've had a good look but can't see anywhere obvious.
Also would anyone know how to connect a cable to the ignition?
I know I should get it done professionally, but funds etc don't really allow. And i'm normally quite good with these things...
Cheers!

yeah if its a punto theres a gromit down behind the battery in that region behind the insulation material, theres always gromits, follow the wires that look asif they go into the cabin and youll find it.

Re: Battery to interior for hands free.

i don't know what you mean by later punto 188? It's a mk2 from 2000, so one of the first mk2's. I'll go and have a dig for an orange wire!
Cheers

Or failing that, in the passenger footwell, there is a large 2" (?) diameter grommit, perfect position for battery. Just pull down the carpet and voila.
