no, the wires go down past the left site of the blackvent opening inside...autometer instructions suggest cutting part of the left side away to make room, and i will tell u that it helped alot. What a PITA tho, i actually melted it with a BBQ lighter and used a razor blade lol. Goodluck

I did it without modifying the vent at all. It is a little tedious getting the wires to go up there, but it wasn't too bad. I just fed the wires up from the cd player area, and had it a little bent backwards to make it under the vent area. Plus my vent still works good. Do you plan on the cage for 3 guages or 2? And vent still there?

You have to cut your own. I didn't because I have a black interior which I hear is not as common as grey. So I figured I would save them instead of butchering them. The heat still works great, you just can't point it where you want it.
