Am I the only one that didn't know about this? I am returning the hardwire kit and getting my money back, as my pics below show how I've installed my RD to my liking! It's not as clean as a hardwire kit that's fished up under the headliner and down the pillars to the fuse panel, but I can still easily unplug and dismount and store it whenever! Glove box closes normally with the way I routed the cord and without bulging out or catching on the cord. Plenty of slack too!
you should check out how i installed mine.
