If you hard wire it make sure you do fuse it like kirk did. We did not on our Audi and after about 3 years of use we had a spot wear it wore through the coating and fused itself to the frame rail. Ended up burning up the entire wiring harness for the car! They are fused now! Also as far as durability.... the shorting out had no effect on it...... had a huge front end impact at the glen and the frame rail literlay wrapped itself around the transponder.... still works like new! I think you would need a direct hit/puncture to damage it.
