I have been searching for a while now on the internet and can’t seem to find anything.
I had a look the other night and can’t see any obvious hole for the power cable. I don’t fancy drilling a hole so am hoping there is other options.
I have seen the cable coming in by the door before, to me that looks silly.

Also I was going to ask what the best way is to run cables to the back,
down the side by the doors or up the middle under the carpet.

Thanks Cammy

Have a look HERE been covered a number of times.

As for the other cables for simplicity you can just unclip the door seals and popthe cables under the carpet. I had my seats out whilst doing another job so routed the cables up either side of the exhaust tunnel. Thumbs up

If you have aircon there is a seal around the pipes that you can fit a cable through, its in the passenger footwell, near the centre console.

I ran my power leads past the door sill, and signal cables along the middle of the car, but you need to remove the passenger seat to do that easily.

Thanks for that, i did see the air con pipes but was'nt sure it would work, i'll give that a go,
i'll work out how to run the cable to back i'll give it a go anyway,

also once the glove box is out the way is it easy to get in about and get the cable through etc?

Thanks Cammy

its been a while since I fitted mine, but I think its just 4 screws holding the lower glovebox in, and with it out you can get the cables behind the center console easily enough. There's a couple of bolts under the gearstick and another at the back under the rear ashtray.
