Default Nav extension cable...pull the headliner?

I'm installing a RSN-E and am running an GPS extension cable to the sharkfin. Just wanted to know if I have to completely pull the C/D pillars and headliner to get to the connection on a sedan?

There was a great writeup on a RS6 install, but that link is dead. Should have printed it out back then.

best to run it from the trunk (where it hooked up to stock unit) under the back seat and up along the driver side (lower panels) to the cluster...

Thanks for the reply..

I need to get to the connector at the sharkfin antenna and I thought this was located in the headliner or one of the pillar trims at the rear of the car? My car didn't come with OEM nav, but i'm installing a RSN-E and i'm going to use the antenna in the sharkfin. It wouldn't have the connector in the trunk would it?
