    Can anyone tell me how they got their RCA's routed through the dash down towards the console?

    I used a wire coat hanger from the back of the radio on the right side, brings it out at passenger side by the bottom of the console

    I have the old unit out, I'm guessing I need to remove the console completely (I only removed the cover like the video thus far and there isnt a way to get around the where the console meet the bottom of the dash that I can see). Will the silver surround that has the vents just pop out? If I remove the console completely and then the silver part I think I can fish them through that way. What do yall think?

    I think to get that part off you have to dismantle the dash more. Find something sturdy that you can fish down through the dash, it'll make it easier. I did that with mine

    You could also route the rca's behind the glove box, down through the kick panel and along the door channel, and up through the carpet. This is the route i usually go, and it may save you from dismantling your dash completely.

    Alright an hour later and finally got the first rca fished, what a PIA!!! Had I bought longer than 6' cables I would've def done it a different way! Thankfully taking the console completely apart was all I needed to dismantle...for now...

    OK, figured out the sweet spot, you gotta go up and over that clearish plastic "hump" in the back that is protecting all those factory wires. The last 2 fished through really easily, hopefully my fails make someone else's install easier...
