How did you wire your power to it?

Thanks!

Car battery? This is how I wired my deck in my old car.

OK. Where exactly did you run the wires in your 2010 Prius? To be more specific, did you remove any panels? Which ones and how did you remove them? Did you go under the car to get to the battery in the back, or did you route the wires some other way, like maybe to the fuse box?

Hi guys.
I know this is the 2010 Prius forum, but I have a 2007 Prius, and I want to put my Garmin right on the drivers side little window just like this thread shows.

At the risk of looking foolish, how did you do it? Is the 2010 little window less deep then my 2007? When I attempt to attach the garmin suction cup holder with the ball end to the window, the garmin will not go on it......like the arm is WAY too short. Is there a different arm I could buy, or an attachment to bring it out farther?

That is the perfect spot, but how can I do it on my 2007? Thank you in advance for your help.
