I know a number of you have mentioned running wires through the center console, my question is how hard is it to get them from there to in the trunk? I am trying to get a game plan together before I tackle the system install.

 

easy if you go to the left or the right at the back... if you try to go straight back it's a bitch

 

Do you have to take anything else out of the way or is it fairly straight forward when you take the trim piece off the center console? I've routed wires before but not in a car like this, normally you just take the back seat out and its a piece of cake.

 

it's cake period.... you'll have to pull down the carpet behind the seats...

here's a visual of how I ran on someone's car , both power and RCA

 

Thanks!

 

 

Here are a few photos showing cables run through the center console.
Hardest part is running them down into the console by the SRS module.
I used a piece of solid copper wire to thread through, then taped the
cables to it and pulled them through. To get them out the rear, I
loosened the screws visible in the last picture, pushed them under the
rear console, and you can reach them from there after removing the vent
panel behind either seat.

4-channel and 2-channel RCAs, as well as twisted-pair speaker wires heading
into the center console:
