    so your telling me you took out the rear seats and you couldnt find a way to route the wires into the cabin? you might wanna try a lil harder... looking into the trunk you can route them on the left and right sides and down itnto the door sill ducts. just follow the pre existing wires back there, they all route thru the doorsill ducts, well most do at least... oh and after you remove the rear seats remove the rear triangularparts of the rear seats on the sides. that will help alot to

    did you remove the second piece of the rear seats..? the triangle type piece of padding on the side...? it should be apparent after removing that...

    i think BY FAR! that the 202 is the easiest car ive ever installed a system in...running the wires was cake and dont show, and ive got a 12 ft monster RCA cable which is super thick and that was even easy to hide..

    the best part is the battery is in the TRUNK so you don't even need to go through the firewall!

    If you haven't figured it out yet...you need to remove the back seat, as I remember, there are 3 bolts holding it down...once you have the back seat off, you will see the hole which is by the seatbelt area.
