    so u'll have a faster charge?
    just run a 2ga wire from the trunk to the starter and from the starter to the fusebox (battery cable from a bmw $8.95 jy price)
    and use the oem power wire cut it in sections and make multiple grounds
    no need to run more than one

        If your alternator is charging ur battery fine, why mess with it..its pointless unless you have a really cheap valucraft battery and it dies all the time..running a wire from the trunk to the alternator is just asking for a short in ur electrical

              You can run 4 gauge with a 100amp fuse about 1 ft from both sources.

                just leave it alone, unless your pounding some 2000watt system the OEM alternator charges just fine regardless of if it is in the trunk or not.

                Its not like its trying to pump fluid through, charging is instantaneous through the wires. just make sure the wires you have going to your trunk are 2gauge or bigger.

                    no, running the wire to and from the switch is really the only way to make it work.
