Another Ipod integration, successful
So i installed my ipod kit last night. The total installation took me about 2 hours. only cause i didnt want my ipod in the trunk and i wanted no wires to show inside the car. Took some pics of the progress, wanted to take more but i kept forgeting
.....id say the hardest part of the install was running the wire under the carpet to the armrest
, that prob took me a good 30-45min right there everything else was really straight forward. The main box is now located under the back seat, drivers side.
im very sattisfied with the outcome. will post pics up asap
where u connect to the sat cable:

Where i mounted the box (after), ran zip ties through foam to keep in place, be sure to not do it to tight or you will rip through the foam

Dont worry about cutting the foam in the seat, you wont even know its gone
Zip tie the cable so it looks nice and clean

And the ipod in the consle, ran the cable as far to one side to look as clean as possible, saw most people running it right through the middle and it looked retarded

I didn't see any instructions on that part of it
