FM and BT wireless microphone (car ear)

EN
As you probably in some point repair something on your car, you should know how nice is if you can “hear” from where exactly the mechanical noise is coming from. Sure, you can buy cheap stethoscope which look like doctor`s one , or similar with metal small rod connected at the bottom. That is great tool, but unfortunately sometimes you have to investigate the issue when driving.
Sure, there are kits of four wireless units that you can buy, but unless you`re working at some service center or you can spare some 400-600$/£/€ for it, make your decision wisely..
So what was my approach?

Hyndai Santa Fe - Adding Subwoffer

EN

That is the article, where will show how I make some small cable work to install SUBWoofer in that particular Hyndai Santa Fe.

The initial investigation show that it will be easy just to drill one small hole, but more on that a bit later.

There is some junction point right below the fuel filter. There is huge hole that one plastic shield cover and bunch of wires goes out of the cabin. That`s good, but unfortunately there is also a rubber that must be drilled, then there is a change that cable goes quite low..

In other words I skipped the idea. Instead I mage one hole myself.

The start was to make the short lead from battery to the fuse:
