Icelink to Armrest?

**max09163** · 03-28-2008 09:33 AM

Hey sorry for another thread - Anyone know how to hide the icelink cable from the back of the head unit down the center console and to the armrest?
thanks!

I can't find my thread with my install. (i'll keep looking...)
Basically the small pocket below the arm rest has a base plate that you pull out. that gives easy access to the console tunnel.

1. While my head unit was out, I fed my ice link cable down through the console interior until it poked out the bottom of the console tunnel on the passenger side.

2. Pull out all the slack.

3. Feed the end of the cable up under the console tunnel at the pocket until you can grab it from the pocket opening.

4. Tuck in any slack in the cable under the console tunnel.

5. Route the cable into the arm rest through the access hole in the bottom.

6. Drink a beer.

hey cjonesgo - in this pic you have the bottom of that cubby piece off. how did you take it off? people have told me it doesn't come up?

the cover is there, but not in the correct position, it's sort of resting at the side. this is what the access looks like, see all the holes?

pulls straight up. no clips no fasteners, just good old gravity (and maybe some friction)

i just struck the blade of my pocket knife at the edge and pried it up. pops right out and goes right back in.

Thanks! I'm doing the install right now. you didn't remove the arm rest to route the wire easier?

guys where is the best place to ground the wire for the ice link? i have it hooked up to a screw on the back of the radio but i'm not sure its the best place. i'll post a pic in a minute.
