Has anyone come up with a clever way to route the CarPlay/Android Auto cable from the USB port into the glove box? I don't want a wireless dongle, and I like having the phone in the glove box a) out of the way b) charging and c) cooled. Currently, I've just stuffed it into the trim by the passengers knee and up into the back of the glove box.

In my previous Leon, I punched a hole in the rubber cubby base and was able to route the cable internally. In the Octavia I don't think this is possible as there's a proper cubby there, with a solid base - I don't want to be drilling things. Not to mention I wouldn't be able to fully close the sliding lid, which would drive me mad.

Pics attached are the current setup in the Octavia, versus the job in the Leon. They both come into the back of the glove box the same way, but having that cable there looks ugly and my girlfriend is forever catching her bag on it - it's about time I sorted it!

Anyone? :(

You could unclip the port and re rout everything behind the screen.

It would leave a gap but you could find a way to fill it.

But again, wireless would be the way to go.
