I like the look of this, will the insignia one fit? Or can it be made to fit? [Image: Screenshot_20160809-124700_zps2p9rkiul.png~original]

I ran mine to c-pillar then dropped it down (remove kick panel trim along doors) and then ran it along with the other wires then I ran across to the Radio. You can run it either side.
