hi,
there is not much room but it is possible. If you undo and pull forward the radio cage (you don't have to full remove it - but most of the time it helps) look to the left and down, there is a very small gap just by the heater vent to the passenger footwell. you can get a couple of cages down - but I found it easier feeding a cable up to start (then tape your cable too it and pull ... slowly. it will go.

is there any one close to you who could lend a hand, one person at the feed the cable the other looking for it by the radio (helps)

I have a top tip.

Don't be gay, and bin the gayPod.  Then you can listen to the wireless

Can you suggest a better way to carry all my music in the car? Im talking ALOT of CD's. I know i cant listen to them all at once, however i'd like to be able to pick and choose what to listen to.

By wireless, i take it you mean the radio? There is nothing but shit on the radio, apart from some of the banter or chris moyles or scott mills show.

I know you disagree tho

LOL, I really can't stand Moyles. Never could, even when he was on local radio around these parts .

How on earth did we survive when our cars only have cassette players


If you need to connect the gayPod to std headunit, the only solution is a good quality FM adapter I'm afraid...   ...and there is normally a convenient break in the aerial in drivers kick panel.

If you're HU has a gayPod interface, and you need to run a lead, follow the route the Traffic Master lead goes

What about something like a Kenwood HU which has a USB port, and use a USB memory stick. Works a treat for me
