Radio Install Help!
Hi everyone,
So I have been doing some research before I attempt to install my own radio. I have a 2003 C4S with a MOST system, but non bose. So I have to install 4 wires from the head unit to by pass the amp in the trunk. I can not seem to find a good way to enter the trunk. I have attached some picture, and here is where the harness and optical cable enters the trunk.
It looks very tight, how do I put more wires through the gromet? Should I drill the gromet? The red arrow is where the tunnel through the firewall is.
Please advise!
Thanks !

Yes, just left of the battery there is a rubber cap. You can pull the cap out and make a hole for your wires.
Then reattach the cap.
It's a bit fiddely with not much hand room but easy enough!
I'll add some pics if you need

Hi jack you are right, it's on the right side for me. Thanks for all the help so far, so the radio is almost installed, after plugging battery back in and instrument cluster back in, when I put car key in ignition to On position, I get all these errors
"oil level indicator failure"
"temperature failure",
"fuel sensor failure"
"oil pressure failure"
"windshield washer fluid level failure"
I checked all teh connection back to the instrument cluster, the Blue, green, gray. All are secure.
What is wrong?

Never mind, it was the blue plug wasn't all the way in.

Hi Neb
Sorry for late reply.
Glad you issue is sorted now. I would have suggested to unplug everything and then plug everything back in. Which I'm guessing is the car equivalent of turn it off and on again
cheers
Jack
