The only solution is to hook it up in the front and hope the terminals in the back aren't touching anything.

They're def. not touching and it's still the OEM battery back there. One terminal is still connected while the other one is set apart from the battery. I didn't get far with the install since my 3-yr old was so nice to interupt the job. A couple of hours later is when I closed the trunk so if I was doing this all in one complete shot, I wouldn't be writing a response to my own stupidity.
Having said that, you don't think getting a jump would cause any issues? I just need some aux power to power the trunk button.
