Hi Chas,

So you already know how to get the power cable through the bulk head so that's the hard part done
When you reach the rear you can remove the rear seat side squabs by pushing them firmly upwards.
You can then gain entry into the boot from there and be able to hide the cables.
You can do this both sides for the power cable and the remote wire and phono lead the other side.
With the phono and remote wire if you undo the fuse inspection cover you can run these cables under there and up into the centre console.
Make sure you put the fuse holder at the battery end and not the amp end and make sure the earth wire is strapped down onto clean metal.
Hope that gives you some pointers
Don't forget to post some pictures up of your finished install
