Actualy in my instalation (SAAB 900) I did not use a coat hanger, I pushed a
#10 teflon insulated wire (stif) in the midle of a harnes and pulled it from
the inside right over the brake petal.
It was easy.
My radio is installed over my left knee which makes it invisible.
I drive with the right and hold the microphone with the left.
