move the wire up to the edge of the headliner, and push it in w/a blunt edge (credit cards work well), then (before is better than after ) remove your A-pillar, usually just pulls off, work the materal and it'll come off; unless you have airbags in the a-pillar, then have a certified alarm insaller do it.
from there, run the wire logically thru nooks and cranny's that wont interfere w/driving/electrical. i ran my wires to the cigarette lighter (i dont put load on it anyway) so the radar turns on w/the key in, and off w/the key off... that's how i did it in my xB... well. almost
