Also, if you feel to the left side of the A/C duct, you will find an open space that goes about 3' back to the rear wall of the console's inerior. Several connectors for console wiring (cell phone & antenna among them) are affixed to the inside of the panel.

Ths was the most difficult and time consuming part of the entire job (which took 3-1/2 hours despite relatively simple electronic hookups).Īccess to the back of the console is gained by gently prying the top of the panel below the A/C vents outward, then lifting the panel upward and out. Snaking the cable under the carpeting was a major hassle because of tiny clearances and it required removing door entry molding on both sides of the car to be able to lift the carpet and its heavy rubber molding. The fourth picture shows the far end of the cable terminating at the rear of the console. Also had to be careful that the right connector went to the right place - the cable is properly installed in only one direction, because the connectors at each end are different (though very similar in appearance). The third picture shows the vacuum tubing and existing cables that run from the passenger compartment to the trunk - I snaked the long cable from the passenger compartment and into the trunk, not the other way around. To follow the vacuum lines and existing cable through the tiny opening behind the back seat, near the top, I had to remove the seat bench, the door moldings, and unbolt one side of the backrest. Snaking the cable through the tiny opening at the top of the backrest was one of the two more difficult parts of the job. The second picture shows the routing of the long cable following the vacuum lines and existing cable along the wheel well in the passenger compartment. I installed the long cable that connects the D2B interface unit with the IceLink board from inside the passenger compartment. Making the fiber optic connections and electrical connections was straightforward, but could have been more simply designed for plug & play by Dension for the price they charged ($400, 'on special'). The first picture below shows the electronics bay on the left side of my trunk I installed the D2B interface next to the Voice Control Module after shortening a bolt that was there. The space for the cell phone in the console top reduces clearance. One has to be careful of clearance, however, so there is room to close the console. I chose to mount the iPod in the console because I wanted it out of sight. The hard part was snaking the long cable that runs between the D2B interface unit in the trunk and the IceLink board itself, which I installed in the panel at the back of the center console.
