It's not a big deal to run wiring through the firewall like that, and when
you sell, lease-return or whatever, it's a simple matter of either pulling
the wiring out, or just merely clipping the wire on both sides of the
firewall. Chances are the next person wouldn't even have a clue that ya did
that.

As far as the accessory port, why not just call the damned dealership to
find out what the rating is if it is not listed in the owners manual or
other places. It's not that hard to do that, nor is it hard to look up the
current draw rating for whatever rig you are using and compare those two
numbers.

Like I had said in an earlier post Andy, there are usually rubber
grommets
on the firewall of most cars and trucks that yo could feed the wiring
through, which removes the need for drilling. Good luck

No kidding. I'm well aware of that. That's how I've been hooking up my
radios
for years, but when I move to this other car, I'd prefer not to do that,
which
is why I asked if anyone had any experience using the accessory port, not
if
anyone has suggestions for wiring up my radio. Thanks for the input
though.
