When connecting it up, use the positive terminal and a ground in the engine bay to keep the Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) in the loop. You can connect it in the back but it's harder to keep the IBS involved and you have to deal with either not closing the trunk or pinching the wire in the trunk's rubber gasket...no issues for the wire but I wouldn't want to compromise gasket .
Thanks! So are you saying I only connect one eyelet to the positive terminal under the hood (what about the neg terminal?) and also the ground wire? I'll need a Torx bit correct? Apologies, I'm just trying to get my ducks lined up before I try doing this on one leg.
