Re: How to snake an antena wire to the trunk?
take the back seat out (I got away with just
the bottom not the back). In the trunk remove
all of the gray carpeting from the floor and back wall. At this point just snake your wire down the left side and it will come from the drivers side of the seat. I got it first try. Once it's there you can go from the center of the back seat floor (under the carpet) and into the rear A/C vent housing (remove the wood trim piece and 2 screws). You're only going about 10" under the carpet but this was pretty tough. The padding is really thick so an extra person helps. Once you've got the wire into the vent console it's a matter of going up through the armrest mounting assembly. See audipages for some directions/pictures on upgrading the armrests which will show you how to remove it. This part was also tough but I was able to do it. I assume that you're installing a phone in the armrest ?
