Routing iPod Cable From Rear CD Changer
Connecting iPod/iPhone to the sound system via CD Changer...
I bought the PXDP & PXHGM2 from DD Mods and ready to hook them up to the Rear CD Changer.
Question: Whats the best way to route the iPod cable from the CD Changer area to the Center Console?
I want to leverage this knowledge from you experienced folks that have already done this!
Thanks!

I ran mine under the carpet on the drivers side, pulled the speaker cover off behind the driver seat to fit it under and toward the center console. This gave me plenty of length. It enters the console from the back (you can see an inch or so of the wire if you get back there and look) and then out the notch in the front of the console where I attach my iPod or phone..

I'll have to take a look at that. You make it sound easy!

I'm going to take a look at that too. Did you run the cable straight back under the carpet/pad to the center console and under to the bottom of the cup holder?

I don't know how long the one from DD is but I just did the mod to add an aux jack coming off the cd changer and I put the aux jack in the active handling plate. I ran my cable around the back tucking it up under the cubby hole on the passenger side then under the carpet to the little hump at the front of the carpet, brought it along the hump and up under the carpet there to under the center console then to the active handling plate. it really was easy to do!
