Hi

When my car was in the body shop they fitted the sensors for me and I was left to complete the electrical side of things.

I have connected up they system and it all works fine, however the speaker and the display are in the boot.

My question is, does anyone know how to run the cables from the boot into the cabin area? The car is a R129 SL. I have removed the rear seats and had a look around but cant find an obvious route.

Regards

I ran a new cable for my CD changer last week -

the route I took was near side rear . I removed the sill trim, & rear seat . Then I removed a screw holding therear nearside panel to the cars body and it flexed enough to get my hand as far as the roof hydraulic pipes distribution unit. but no further - SO I removed teh boot trim & poked a long stiff wire thru to which I taped my cd changer cable & pulled through, . you need to be careful not to damage or get stuck on any hydraulic pipes - but its doable if you dont mind skinned knuckles !
