There's a connector above the rear view mirror IIRC. You'll need to remove trim above the doors (remove front and back grab handles first) to feed the wires through. You can feed the wiring down the trim at the side of the windscreen, unless you insist on going the same route as the original which is then along the top of the o/s front door, down the B pillar, back towards the driver's footwell......
