Hi all,

After reviewing an installation guide I found on here, I ordered my DICE iPod integration kit thinking that I would have adequate room behind my center storage console to find the 3 and 6 pin CD change cables. However, as you can see by the picture I have posted, I have zero finger room to even begin to look for the connections. Has anyone else run into this? As of now I am completely stuck, so any advice would be most appreciated!

Thanks!

The CD Changer connectors are located underneath the box, taped to the floor.

There are 2 torx screws in the inside of the storage compartment - remove these to relieve the pressure on top of the connectors and gently pull from the trunk side of the wiring to free them from the tape. The twisted white/red, white/blue and white/brown are your audio wires of the 6-pin connector, power is the 3-pin connector with the brown wire in the #1 position.

Tom, you're a life saver. :) Any advice on the best way to run the iPod cable underneath the box into the storage compartment?

Thank you!

You can use a coat hanger as a fish line to go underneath the storage compartment to the other side. You will see a small "punch out" portion that can be removed on the bottom of the compartment in the interior.
