My sensor arrived yesterday for my 04 coupe. You have posted instructions for installing this item in three different areas.
1. Under the hood
2. Trunk
3. Under driver dashboard
Dashboard to much current?
Under Hood, to much heat, may cause less life?
Trunk best place if you have an alarm wire there?
Are these assumptions correct?

Ok. Let me try to explain the install.
Most installers prefer using the hood pin switch, however, the heat generated in the engine bay isn't goof for the life of the sensor. So, we decided its best to install it in the dash somewhere. At that location, you can tap into the door or trunk trigger wires. Now, on some of the 03s, the door trigger drew too much current and could burn the sensor. So, we have installed these sensors using the trunk switch which is located by the dash.
Here are pictures from the install:

Since you have an 04....the door trigger doesnt take as much current and could be installed there (I have an 05 and its on the door trigger as well).
But since most people didn't know what to do, we just installed them on the trunk trigger.
