I'm looking for the simplest method of routing audio cables from the trunk in my 2000 model XKR convertible to the centre console. I have the back seat (just the base) detached but cant see an easy route. There's a harness which is flat under the seat which splits in two and then goes to both sides of the car, maybe under the speakers but not sure.


I don't really want to dismantle anything more than I need to, so an easy option will be gratefully appreciated.

 

you might check some post on hydraulic line replacement (convertible top), I've seen post with pics with the back seat backrest removed, it might help guide you.

 

When I did mine, I took the rear seat back out and threaded the cables from the top right corner of the boot (as you look into it) through to the cabin. The hydraulic lines for the roof pass the same way. Of course, a 2000 might be completely different from a 2001 as we have found out.

I think you are going to have to bite the bullet and take that seat out - its pretty obvious what you need to do when it is out.

 

 

Well, on mine, one of the wires in the centre armrest console controls the electric aerial. Like many other people on here, I have installed a little switch in that wire to stop the aerial from going up. Maybe you disconnected it?

 

Many thanks


Will take a look but I also noticed my sat nav screen also doesn't come on so possibly I've disturbed something.
