A Pillar To Head Unit - Cable Route

[Max Palmer]

Hi, how do I route a cable from the A pillar (passenger side) to the head unit? What bits of trim need to be removed to do this please? We are talking cables for rear speakers.

Thanks.

Take out the glove box. 4 screws inside at the top and three along the bottom.

Get electricians rods/fish tape and feed it down to below steering wheel (a light underneath will help you to see a route) then pull off panel below steering wheel and feed up on the right hand side. Popping the end panel off will make access easier. The A pillar cover will just pull off, though if you’ve got grab handles you will need to undo the 2 torx screws holding them. I’m at work so can’t take any pics but hopefully someone will be able to post some and make it a bit clearer.

Doh completely missed the “passenger side” bit. I’m an idiot.

Thanks both.

Once the glove compartment is off, is there a clear route up to the head unit (once it’s cover is removed) and across to the airbag switch compartment?

When we fitted a reverse camera,we took the end panel off the dash,removed the head unit and fished the wire across,hope this helps
