    I use a vent mount for my phone and my old car had the aux-in by the radio so I used a little retractable cable to my phone. Now in the prius the aux-in jack is way in the back of the arm rest what is the best way to route the cable there?

    No nav so no bluetooth streaming for me. Thanks for any suggestions[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

    It is really far more easy to go about it at the stereo.

    You *could* find the proper wires at the HU (it's documented - search it), then just "clamp" on those - leaving everything else untouched. This would allow you to use both AUX and the "clamped" wire (can't use them both at the same time).

    Pulling the HU is pretty easy (search it). You need Aux in, Aux out, and ground...

    Getting the wires into a vent is not so easy, and climbing under the dash is less easy. But once you have the wires, you can move them at will...... I drilled a small hole in the top left glove compartment thinking that was where I would put my iPhone - didn't like it......
