I had the need to get some cables from the trunk to the center console / arm rest area and found a nice easy way.

Tools:

  • Philips Head Screwdriver

  • Coat Hanger

  • Electrical Tape

  • String

I started out by removing both passenger and driver side trim pieces below the center console and dash area.  These are in two parts.

 

This is the passenger side rear trim piece, this clip slides back and out.  DO NOT try and pull straight out as the clip may break off

Here’s a look at the back side of the passenger side front trim panel.  3 clips and 1 screw hole.

 

Driver side, the screw is somewhere by the arrow.

 

Driver side trim panel, again 3 clips and 1 screw hole. Remove the back section just the same as the passenger rear piece.
A small screw for the driver and passenger sides release the rear trim piece below the power outlet and rear vents.

The vent and power outlet where somewhat hard to figure out how to release.  The best this I can tell you is to take your time.  I ended up separating the 2 by working with the power outlet panel.  This is the vent.

 

Vent out and power outlet out.

Sorry for the crappy pic.  I had best luck running a coat hanger from the rear center console to the rear seat.  Make sure you tape up the end  of the coat hanger good to help in NOT slicing existing wiring.

 

Here’s the coat hanger coming up from the middle of the rear seat, fished under the carpet.

 

Coat hanger is running right under the carpet in the center hump.

Tape some string on the coat hanger and pull it through.  I used 3 pieces of string, 1 for pulling cable, 1 just in case and 1 to leave should I ever need to pull more cable.

 

Tied of the end while pulling the string through just is case I got to jerky and accidentally pulled it through.

 

String is pulled!.

 

Now attach your cable[s] to the string and pull some cable.

 

It took some pulling but it went through.

 

I tied my extra, future use, piece of string off here and tucked it below the carpet.

Like so.

 

You can’t hardly see it, huh.  Put your seat back in and you’re done.
