routing XM modulator wires

[BoxyLady]

Hi folks,

I will be mounting my XM Airware on the console, and need to run my modulator wiring up the passenger side of the console to plug into the antenna connection of the CDR23.

I have no issues with sliding out the CDR23. I already did it to do a dry run of the modulator to ensure it worked properly.

Now I want to do a permanent mount. How do i get my modulator cables up into the cavity in the back of the CDR23?

I have seen posts referring to shining a flashlight from the passenger footwell to see where the cable should run into the back.

Do I remove the passenger footwell, black plastic piece? Do you run something akin to a fish tape in through the CDR23 opening and down into the passenger foot well in order to pull the modulator cables up?

thanks for the help........

There is a single black plastic panel behind/below your glovebox. ONE screw removes the entire panel, and you can access the entirety of the dash space with relative ease from there. I will be posting pictures of my ipod adapter setup (which was stored behind that panel) tomorrow, which includes pictures of that panel removed for your reference.

thanks 3ball.

i did find the single screw, and pulled down the housing.

It really was not that hard with a flashlight in the footwell, and the CDR23 pulled out. I was able to feed the cabling through the back. install looks great!

thanks again for the reply
