I'm not quite sure how the wires were run, one of my buddies who does that kind of stuff did it for me. All i know is that he unscrewed a couple of screws to lift the console where the cup holder is located, removed the cup holder, ran the cables through the console, he said there was plenty of room. He dropped the XM receiver right down where our shifter is located, bundled up with the cables for the radio, and he said that area had plenty of room too.
