Talking CAI - Battery + Trunk = Oops

So not too proud of this silliness but thought I's share anyways for a laugh or two.

I'm sure we all have done something stupid during our mods at one point or another, feel free to share yours so i don't feel as dumb

So I am installing my Injen CAI and old Air Intake dis-assembly took longer then expected and I needed to leave to run an errand. So I decided to finish the project latter and meantime was going to use my wife's car to run the errand. To safe guard the parts, i placed all the parts, new and old, including the battery in the trunk and luck the car not thinking twice about it.....that is until I got back and wanted to get something out of the trunk. That is where the Oops comes in. Now have to go get the jumper cables out of the garage.

Yea as long as you can get inside the car, your good. I fell asleep with my system on at a rest stop halfway through a trip I had, and Nothing worked not even windows or trunk release. I had to open it manually.

An inconvenience but pretty minor in the big scheme of things.

Locked keys in car recently @ Target . Fortunately I had left a window cracked so I bought a curtain rod in the store (that's all I could find), borrowed a rubber band and wrapped a broken off plastic coat hanger hook onto it, went back out and unlocked it with that . Then went back in and returned the curtain rod . Just anther day...

I used NAVtool, no wire cutting required, comes with all the harnesses to match our cars/NAVI.

A bit of a pain for our cars to run the wires to the front, since the NAVI is in a trunk, that is if you want to have your DVD player in the front.
