Where is the opening (if any) to run wire from the inside of a UL trunk to the cabin. I have the trunk stripped down and have taken out my rear passenger seat but I can't find any openings.
I am running the antenna wire from my beatsonic kit to the OEM antenna in the trunk. I have everything else installed but I am stuck here.
Top right of the trunk, behind and above the grey trim panel, you could fish a wire into the passenger side air duct and run through there. Or take the interior rear tray panel off completely (easy if you have the seats taken out already) and run the wire through any opening (I suggest near the subwoofer).
Last time I tried, I couldn't remove the trunk's rear top trim panel (the one surrounding the air purifier filter and covering the entire backside of the trunk). It appeared to be one big piece, and it was stapled all along the top edge to something on the other side. It didn't look like it was meant to come off, but maybe I wasn't pulling hard enough. How did you do it?
I was working under time pressures and didn't have the service manuals nearby, so I didn't work on it for too long. I've looked at the manual since then and it still isn't clear.
I have my nav in-motion typing enabler switch all wired up and ready to run into the cabin, but haven't had time to take the trunk apart again.
To remove the top trim with the staples you have to pull kinda hard. It has 3 clips along the top which u cant see until you pull. The staples are whats holding the 3 clips onto the trim.
I see the air duct on the top right side, if I fish a wire through there, where would it come out at inside the cabin?
hey leroy try out the coat hanger trick again this is how i watched the stereo shop dude do it on mines and the shiz worked for the controller behind the dash too if you recall.
I ran my wire for my sub woofer in trunk right beneath where the old sub was through grey insulation seam in trunk.
I'm still using my oem sub so I can't send the wires this way, I thought about it though.

Thx. I'll look for this when I get back home.

Hopefully this will work if I find the opening. I've had to take more stuff apart to run this 1 wire than I did to install the double din unit up front.
U gotta post up some pics when done, in fact I wanna see it when ur done. Hey leroy u know there is the big annual reggae fest in annapolis on Sunday, actually its at the anne arundel fairgrounds in crownsville.

I'll take a couple pics, Im hoping to have it all done this afternoon. Didnt hear about the festival, might have to check it out.
I finally got it all installed. It wasn't very fun, especially running the antenna cable. My speakers sound a bit distorted right now so I'm trying to figure out how to fix that.
I no longer need my vaistech sl2vi so its up 4 sale. It's in perfect working condition.
I had something called a chache' installed , and my sub sounds amazing now. U may need something like that or a rockford 360 or jl cleansweep type thing installed to get the optimal sound, since I found out that the ml system is doing all sorts of funky processing to each speaker just about.

i recently updated/installed this bad boy and it has all the bells and whistles but now I'm stuck on fishing a RCA (just the video plug) cable from the trunk to the center console. I have the rear seat out and I'm going to use the coat hanger trick once I get to the back seat but I can't find a hole to fish the cable from trunk to rear seat area....
