    Question Running wires from glove box to center console

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I'm trying to run some wires from my glove box to the center console, and keep them as concealed as possible. Whats the simplest and cleanest way to do this?

    I could do some tucking, but eventually the wires would come out near the arm rest and feed into the center console, which I don't know if that's the way I want to go.

    Basically I don't want wires feeding into the center console\armrest, I want to route them so they are in the center console/armrest. Similar to this http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthrea...-MK6-Jetta-SEL

    Can you post a few pictures of where exactly your having the issue or something like that?

    Attached a picture of the traditional way to route the wires (red line), but definitely it's not clean. I'll be running an HDMI cable and a MicroUSB cable, so nothing too thick.

    There's some small holes on the top right, inside the glove box. It exits behind the fuses. I ran my dash cam battery backup wires through there, up the A piller, to the read view mirror.
    The only problem is the holes aren't big enough for HDMI or Micro USB cables. I had to cut my wires, fish it through then splice them back.
    Thats the only holes I could find in the glove box, it's sealed pretty well.
    Maybe you could pop off the cover for the ipod connection?

    I found the solution! http://www.audiworld.com/forums/a4-b...ired*-2864770/

    Gonna run it along the side of the gearbox instead of under the seat, but it's totally do able. Already took everything apart and it's a 100% go when all my wires come in. Cheers!
