Technical Installing Warmer.

[joel]

I thinking about buying cables to install from the front to inside of the car. So that I can have an electric warmer in the cupe. So I dont have to clean up the windows from snow and ice every morning. My question is, how to get the cables from the engine room into the passanger side of inside the car?

Thanks,
Joel

I knew a girl once (who lived in Gothenburg) who had a similar set up in her Hyundai Pony(!!). The power connector hung out the front through the front grille with a tennis ball over the end to protect it! It looked proper ****ing stupid, but...

I guess you could get the cables through using the same method as getting the power cables through for an amp - Either find a gromet with enough space to get them through, or drill a hole through the bulkhead.

Easy!

Many cars have them here. When it starts to get -20C degrees its nice to sit down in a warm car from the beginning not freezing the arse for 15 minutes ..

If I understand you correct, I make a hole in the foam/sound texturething on the "wall" to the coupe from the engine-room? Where does people normally do the hole to connect a amp?

Sorry for the poor english

On the Punto you can get wires through on the passenger side behind the carpet. To get the power through for my amp I drilled my way through, but I think there is a grommet on the drivers side that you can get wires through without having to drill.

I removed all the carpet inside the car in the passenger footwell and drilled through so the hole was about half way down the bulkhead.

I can't really explain it much better.

I'll put a post in the ICE forum explaining the same and give a link to this thread...The ICE boys will be able to give you a better idea of where to get the cables through than me!

Dave,
Its a Fiat Punto 75SX, actually I used a online translator for the word coupe .. what I meant is the passangerspace of the car, the compartment or whatever its called.

alexb,
thanks for your help. Will try to get it sorted out next time I go inside with the car (garage or something), its so damn cold to be standing outside and try to do it.
