Fuse Box Help
OK first of all ebfore I even start, I have little knowledge on this subject obviously, I had my system installed and told it would be "professional" yeah right... I know enough about electronics to notice that this is bullshit....
Sorry about how blurry they are, only got my cell phone camera

So I talked to another member to this forum and was told to get a fuse tap, so I got one, but it won't fit in the current location. Then I remembered, when i first had the system installed, it was hooked up to the "trunk outlet" so I used the fuse tap and connected my system to the "trunk outlet". Well my system still works but.... I lost the trunk release button functionality. Somone please help me... where should I hook my system up to... I've brought it back to the shop 3 times and each time they did something new to it and it looks more and more unprofessional every time. ( just a little background info at first they told me there was no way to get the wire from the system properly on a fuse, and they wanted em to give them 300$ for a din kit, that costs 30$)

damn thats trashy... unfortunatly ive seen it before. The fuse you want to tap is either the sunroof or windshild whiper fuse both located on the inside fuse box (lower passenger left hand side). You can either do the conventional fuse tap with connector or solder the wire on. Just make sure to tap the side of the fuse without power
