#1: Ipod/USB lead to glove box from back of head unit? Author: krakpot, Location: BoltonPosted: Wed Sep 15, 2010 2:04 pm ---- Hello,
I am just deciding on a new head unit for my 2001 206 GTi. I think i would like to go down the route of having an ipod/mp3 device permanently in the glove box which connects to the back of the head unit.
I am a complete novice on the internals of the 206, is it possible to route a wire from the back of the head unit to come out of the hole I can see in the top of the inside of the glove box ?
Has anyone had any experience ?
Thanks
rich

I have seen the hole in the glove box, i just wondered how you managed to steer the cable through to the hole ? It seems quite a way to direct a floppy cable.
Thanks

With plenty spare. Would be similar distance in yours.

Wiggle it about a bit until you can feel it and hey presto.
