somewhere to put wires behind aftermarket headunit?

[severedevil]

I got an 8" touch screen that came with all adapters and front plate. But all the wires in the back will not allow the stereo to fit in. I've tried pushing them various ways to make them fit. But still won't. Can I cut into whatever is behind the stereo? Looks like the center console vents... But not sure. If they are then can I cut to the right of left? I need abt 2 more inches of clearance to get the stereo in. Also for some reason I have no sound coming from the front driverside speaker. All the wiring is good. It did work but just stopped.

I took out my ac controls so I could stuff behind that. Tons of room there.

Well u see. I live in death valley in cali. Gets 120+ between may and Sept. So I need ac. And I have a blk car...

Nooo lol dont actually remove them from the vehicle. Just unscrew the panel so you can get behind it and stuff your wires.

I'll stuff you in my trunk and push it in a lake

Ok I got you. Not a bad idea. I was gonna go and cut right below the stereo in the back to stuff them back there. I'll try removing and stuffing. Not sure how it all seems like one peice and a lot more work than cutting a small are lol but in the end would be better I guess.

HAHAHA way outta left field opcorn:

OP, try and come in from the glove box area and pull wires that way as you mount the deck from the front... as far as your speaker crapping out, hope you didnt short some wires when you were obviously trying to shove the deck into the dash to make it fit... if you have a extra speaker laying around id suggest lay it on the seat and unclip the wires going to your stock speaker that is not working and plug the wires from the head unit to the speaker sitting on your seat to see if either you blew the amp in the radio or you popped the stock speaker.

Post up a photo when its completed im interested in seeing how that deck looks in the dash..

Ok I got it. I tried through the glove box before but it wouldn't work n I looked at it and was like it should totally work and tried again and noticed some rca wires were stopping it from going all the way back. Low n behold I got it in and it is awesome. Don't lose any bass with bt. Speaker is working(I noticed a wire came out of the wireharness so I pushed it back in). It looks awesome and works like a champ. Came with every adapter u can imagine. Came with GPS, bus connector, tons of rca for tv out tv in amp out sub and backup camera. Tv antenna iPod hookup. Usb extention cord and more. I'll post pics in a min

Did it retain the USB for the ipod hook up in the upper glove box?

Sadly that is the one and only adapter not included. But it does have usb behind the stereo and came with usb extension. But I'm just gonna get a female mini usb to male usb adapter for it. It does have the mini usb tho but it's in the front. So kinda a$$ backwards
