audio install help
« on: 23 July 2007, 10:26 »
Hi,
I need to get some cables back to the boot of the car for audio!
0awg cable
3phonos
1 remote-on.

Now i have looked and cant see anywhere really easy to put the cables... im thinking down (under the door) is really the only option.

had anyone pulled that plastic up and know if there is much space??? :-| or any other ideas?

someone must have installed cables?

In the boot there are several bungs!. the first image would be best, but i cant find where the thing comes out under the car... any ideas ??
the second is under the spare wheel, which is an alrite location, goes strait out under the car, which is good but need another sort of bung to seal the gap...
third pic comes out between the exchaust valance (silver heat stuff) so cant use those.






anybody know how to take the side trim off inside the car without breaking it :-| i dont want to just pull and hope!

Me to. Without trying to stereotype, the Mk5 is more expensive, so therfore going to attract a slightly older buyer who might not be as inclinded to start adding amps, speakers etc the their car. Just a thought.

Mate has just landed in his GTi and the grommet is there with no cable running through - you may have to remove the battery to access it.
