W210 - Where to put lead?

[jimmymidnight]

Hi everyone, haven't been on here in a while, but yesterday I had a Parrot MKi9100 bluetooth kit fitted in my 2001 W210. The kit it's self is fantastic, i cannot recommend enough - it works perfectly with my new BlackBerry 9700 Bold - syncs up contacts and business groups etc... perfectly.

The kit also came with some audio-in leads (iPod, 3.5mm jack and USB).
At the moment these are just sticking out the side in teh passenger footwell in the little net bit, but does anyone else have something similar in their W210 (or similar) and where have then got the cables fed to?

Pics would be an amazing help, but if not every little helps and all that!

thanks everyone.

In a w210, I would try and feed them either into the ashtray or the compartment under the radio in the centre consule. Might have to drill a couple of small holes in the back of the trays to feed the wires through. . .

if you take the ashtray out you can feed wires through the back as there are a couple of cutouts in the frame - my satnav sits in there

cheers guys! i've had a bit of a poke around, and both your suggestions look good. i'll have a proper look and hopefully get it all sorted at the weekend, although, now you mention the sat nav being there, i might see if mine will fit!

thanks!

right, well i've moved the remote for the bluetooth so that it is now on the centre console, i found this was a nicer place to use it after getting used to the wheel in the W221 S class (not quite the same i know, but you get what i mean). Im still not sure about the positioning of the screen, but the fitter at halfords gave me plenty of sticky pads so i can move it about at the weekend.

I now just need to take apart my spare storage bit from under the stereo and see how much drilling i will need to do to fit the ipod cable.

what do you think?

 

[jimmymidnight]

all sorted now, ended up drilling a whole in the storage box directly under the stereo, im really happy with the outcome. i'll stick a pic up in a bit!
