Hi my first post here, hi fellow mini owners!

i want to take a power cable direct from the battery to the interior of the car eg to wire a car alarm, and music amp, what the easiest route, the car looks well sealed, im more familair with cars with big holes from the engine area to the internal!!

is there a guide with photos, or can some one help?

hope the question is clear, i have hopefully attached a couple of pics of my pride and joy

peace and stuff

Either remove the glovebox (or shelf in your case) and there is a big grommet high up that is behind the ABS but if you feed a wire from the inside out the way you will be able to eventually get hold of it and its very close to the battery.

Or there is a grommet above the brake pedal but this is a more complicated route.
