edit: do you have fog lights? you might still have the blank plug left over from the install
yeah this is what we do on the xD to hide the ipod in the glove box that usb plug in the console will pop out and you can run it inside the center console itself then get the blank to fill the hole at the dealer for like $4 or so its really easy and cheap to. you wont be able to get to the usb plug whenever you want but there would be no wire showing at all it looks pretty clean.

exactly what i was trying to say, just worded better (i was hella tired lol). i ran a male to female aux and usb extension into the armrest so i can plug everything in there and have it completely hidden. so much cleaner imo.

Hey,
I was sick of my Ipod in that cubby too, so I took out the center console cover, pulledthe Ipod plug from the cover, and ran thewire in the console with zip ties, and drilled a hole in the front of the storage compartment. I ran a cable to the storage pocket, and now it is all hidden away. Instead of putting a blank in the console, I bought a junk yard plug for 20 bucks, and now it looks from the outside as if there is nothing plugged in to the switch.

No, by the time I thought about it, I was almost done. I lost the AUX feature by doing it that way, but I have NEVER used that feature in my life anyway. I like the Ipod in the storage because it sits low down and I can hide it further with tissue and a post it pad.

Hey guys, 2tCornot2tC has decided to leave the forums and will no longer be posting. He has removed the pictures himself.
