Just replaced my old Mondeo with a nice shiny 2002 Octavia Estate, looking to swap out the Symphony HU with my JVC unit, complete with the iPod & DAB tuner boxes! A quick try shows that the Octy has nice ISO connectors which play nicely with the JVC...just add aerial booster and remove k-line of course...however I can't push the HU back far enough with all of the JVC wiring loom in place, not even attempted the interface boxes yet lol!

OK Guys silly question time.....

1. What's the easiest way to get access to the back of the head unit to aid in cable routing when replacing the unit?

2. Where's the best place to stuff extra cabling & add-on boxes behind the dash?

Take glove box out, lots more room to play with and tuck wires away.
