It depends which sensor kit you have. I chose a sounder only unit & removed the sounder from its casing, unsoldered it & passed the wire through he bonnet release grommets, which will get you from the boot space into the engine compartment & through into the cabin. I dispensed with the case & having shortened the cable, resoldered & slid the sounder down in between a fold in the bulkhead carpet.
If you have the unit with the display my recommendation would be to strip the module, unsolder the wires & having noted their original position pass the wire through the same grommets, down under the door & up to wherever you intend to position the display.
It worked fine for me, Mike.

Thank you for that Mike, spent an hour trying to find a suitable place to pass the wire through to the cabin, never thought about the bonnet release. The unit is a sounder and display combined, I will open it up and see if I can unsolder it.

I didn't fit my sounder in the cabin as such, it's under the pacel shelf tucked up in a corner near the passenger seatbelt mount. I used one of the many gromets there to get it to the top of the engine cover. Plenty loud enough.
HTH, Nick

Stuck mine in the T-bar where the speakers used to be.

All done put wire through the bonnet release cable grommet, fed the wire under the drivers door seal and mounted in right hand corner near windscreen, they are surprisingly accurate for such a cheap kit
