So I just recently installed my car deck and I currently have the ipod cord running down out from the passenger footwell. There isn't any slots to run the cord from the deck to glovebox so I was wondering what solutions others have done. Did you guys drill a hole, or have a DIY? Help appreciated!

I drilled a hole in the back of the black piece of plastic at the end of the glovebox. If you drill near the end of one side, you can slip the wire in, then snap that black piece in place.

you can run the cable out of the ashtray. remove the ashtray piece (or modify it into a cradle) and when you aren't using it, it tucks away neatly inside the cover

im confused ? the glove box or centre console

Glove box: Theres a rectangular clip at the back of the box that pops out you'll have to remove the glove box(couple screws behind the trim piece for the lcd screen and clips) to run the wire back there and perhaps a friend to help grab wire on the other end

Centre console: pop the cup holders and ashtray piece and climate control... run the down the back of the climate and ashtray and under the cupholdersand drill a hole big enough for the wire in the fron part of the centre console near the 12V outlet and voila

ORRRR if you dont want to drill the centre console then bring the wire up the slot for the ebrake and keep it tight to the front of the centre console and and through the lil cubby hole for cables allready fabricated for ipod cables

i ran mine though the center console out into the cup holders, the aux cable is too small to slide through the crack when open, and i keep my ipod in the cupholder most of the time anyway since i have song a.d.d.

I plan on running mine into the centre console where the Aux/12V is. I'll post pics once I'm done!

This is what I did to run my iPod cable from the Caska to the centre console:

1) Removed the AUX module from the centre console
2) Took it apart - only interested in the housing

3) Since I couldn't destroy my iPod cable, I had to cut a slot to thread the cable through the AUX housing.

4) Put it all together! (and Plastidipped it so that it doesn't say "AUX" anymore.)
