OMG! You did a Cradlepoint in the trunk? That is an AWESOME idea. I acatually may soon have a "spare" Cradlepoint that I could do this with but I'm usually not one to mess with the wiring of a car and tapping power, but this is something to think about.... Any chance you did a build thread?

Honestly @LexusGSboy if you are going to do it, mount it in the passenger kick or glovebox and put the LTE antennas on top of the infotainment display under the dash. I do not have any pictures but from my experience that is the best way to do it and will give you the least trouble and problems. And there is a passenger fuse box that is MUCH easier to access than the rear fuse box. I am going do remove the antennas i had mounted on the rear glass because I got tired of leaks from the trunk seal when I washed the car. If/when I do put the cradle point back, it’s going in the passenger kick panel and I am going to mount the lte antennas on top of the infotainment 12.3’ display, which is metal and faces the sky thru the windshield, and mount the WiFi antennas on the windshield facing in by routing up the passenger a pillar. I did this for the WiFi antenna of my groom vl2 for wireless car plat and it worked great.

Just noticed today that the button for the auto windshield wiper no longer has a light. I thought I turned it off when going into the car wash but ended up turning it on.

So I drove a BMW 750. That trunk hanger is a BMW thing, all BMW sedans have the same trunk hanger.
