Guys, where's the negative in my car? I feel so ignorant not knowing... The positive is very obvious, but can't find the negative. I'm thinking of changing my steering wheel trim (I searched and found lots of DIY, but could't figure out where the negative is)

Let me know how the mod goes and if you have any issues with the i-drive being reset after reconnecting the battery.
I plan to also do this mod next week.
