I need to route a aux cable into the armrest. What is the best way to do this?

I have had a quick look and there seems to be no obvious way without drilling which I don't really want to do.

Thanks

From where? Mine is just hidden under loads of trim from memory.

If it's front the HU, you need to take the centre console trim up and then lift the centre console piece. I had the USB port in the armrest retrofitted to my car

Its from the glovebox to the aux socket in the armrest.

Getting it from the glovebox to around the handbrake area isnt a problem. But i cant seem to find a way to take it from there to the aux socket.

As said I lifted the whole centre console bit, was easy that way.

would this be the same routing a cable from the armrest to the front ashtray?

Managed to get the cradle out without removing the centre console! Followed guide here, http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=115

Minor damage to cradle but it went straight in the bin anyway!
