I mounted my woox under the drivers seat.

1_ Instead of drilling holes for the mounting brackets,
I found I was able to loosing the front drivers seat mounting bolts,
With the mounting brackets on the woox, slip the mounting brackets under the front cross-brace where the seat is bolted to floor (trapping the tabs of the mounting brackets between the seat base and the carpet) and re-torque the seat mounting bolts.

2- Signal wires:
After removing the center dash, radio and =center console= (a real PITA) I simply spliced the woox cables onto the radio harness

*Note that I found an unused socket on the factory harness that connected to the 'antenna signal' pin of my factory radio (according to the pin-out diagram decal on the radio itself). This I used for the 'power on signal' lead for the woox. It works great for switching on the woox whenever the stereo is switched on.

3- Power: I ran the woox power lead to the battery + terminal. This required poking an extra hole in the rubber boot around an existing bundle of wires going thru the firewall.)
