I do it my self and it is really not that hard. Usually what I do is cut the end with the charger on it and split the wire plastic to reveal the usual white and red wires. I connect longer wires to each wire and mark the white wire as the ground. Then I tuck them away and run the wires to the fuse box. The red wire can be pushed into one end of the radio fuse then the white to a ground anywhere that is convienient for you. I had mine done by a stereo shop at first and paid 35 bucks. Then I saw how easy it was and just copied that on all the other cars I have done. They make a add a fuse that allows you to pull off another fuse and not have to just push the wire into the fuse. The wire was just pushed into the fuse when the stereo shop did my original install.

If u Wire it into ur rearview mirror on a 98-02 f body ull never have to turn it on or off. It will turn on when u open the door, stay on for as long as the car is on and when u turn ur car off and get out the 10min battery saver feature will turn it off. Did it to mine, works great.
