If it is indeed only temporary, you can probably hide it for the most
part without taking off a lot of panels (thread it under the rug at
the side of the floor, for example.

Also, if it is temporary, you might be able to simply run it
underneath the car. There ought to be lots of ways to easily work the
wire into the trunk space. I wouldn't recommend this as a permanent
wiring approach, but it should work for you. They make wire with some
pretty impressive insulation that ought to hold up under the car.

My 2000 is pre-wired for a changer / amp in the back. I'm surprised
they didn't do this in 1999.

want to know what is the easiest route and would keep the cable hidden from
prying eyes.

Thanks alot for replying

I thought it was abit odd that it wasnt pre wired, but according to me mates
it because me car is a 1.6se, and they dont hav it, all other model wwith
larger engines have them.

I hadnt thought about running he wire underneath the car, I will give it
some thought this weekend.

would i need to disconnect the head unit in order to fit the amp, as i dont
have the security code, is there a way round this???

Can't help you on the security codes, though I believe you can get
these through a dealer ... not sure how that works.
