Default AUX Wire route - Kawal

Hello friends,

I just got the Ray Kawal Premium XM AUX Cord that plugs into the XM box in the trunk.

I Just want your advice, and pictures if you have any, on how to cleanly run the wire up to the front of the car. Preferably make the wire come out of the glove box.

What do you guys recommend / what did you do?


Thank you,
-Adam

I did this, and didn't take any pictures. Sorry.

I ran the wire from the XM box, along the left side under the carpet for about a foot, and then ran the wire thru the middle of the car (still under carpet) and had it come out from the underside plastic housing of the center console. This way, I only had to remove a total of 2 bolts (in the center console). The wire comes out about where the passenger seatbelt connects. I don't love it, bc the passenger always ends up sitting on it, but it works and I saved myself at least an hour for removing a bunch of cheap plastic parts in the interior that I would probably break. (I'm used to working on an old Yota, so I don't quite have the patience or finesse for a Vette interior yet.)

Wow, thank you. That was the easiest thing I’ve ever done. And it looks really clean and factory.

I did it the same way except ran it a little further up toward the front and mounted it just below the phone clip.

Default Wish I did

I attempted to splice in the wires and have shorted something out. Car won’t crank and have no clue.
