Default How to snake a wire behind the dash?

I searched but could not locate the answer I seek. I also checked Robin's site and the V1 install there is not where I want to put locate it.

I want to run my V1 RJ11 wire from the center console up behind the dash and pop it through the top of the dash. I took the top cover off to expose the heater vents up on top and thought I could bring the wire somewhere around this area. Not!

Anyone know the easiest way to get this done?

TIA

BTW - After reading Robin's DIY again, it may appear to be the only way to get a wire from the bottom to the top. I was just looking for another solution rather than going in through the vents etc.

Use a wire coat hanger to feed it in, either from the top or bottom.

There's a gromet in the stereo area. Kinda on the upper right hand portion of the stereo box.

I fed a wire from my stereo switched wire to the top of the dash that way.

Jeff - where did the wire pop out on top?

I did see a big gromet (1/2 dollar size) but didn't know where it would lead. Seems that the dash is tight to the metal and the only holes on top are from the defroster.
