Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi everyone,
So I have been doing some research before I attempt to install my own radio. I have a 2003 C4S with a MOST system, but non bose. So I have to install 4 wires from the head unit to by pass the amp in the trunk. I can not seem to find a good way to enter the trunk. I have attached some picture, and here is where the harness and optical cable enters the trunk.
It looks very tight, how do I put more wires through the gromet? Should I drill the gromet? The red arrow is where the tunnel through the firewall is.
Please advise!
Thanks !

I would try using a cut coat hanger with some silicone spray and try to push it through he grommet. Once you get it through, attach a wire(s) to it and pull it through.
Yes, just left of the battery there is a rubber cap. You can pull the cap out and make a hole for your wires.
Then reattach the cap.
It's a bit fiddely with not much hand room but easy enough!
I'll add some pics if you need

Hi jack you are right, it's on the right side for me. Thanks for all the help so far, so the radio is almost installed, after plugging battery back in and instrument cluster back in, when I put car key in ignition to On position, I get all these errors
"oil level indicator failure"
"temperature failure",
"fuel sensor failure"
"oil pressure failure"
"windshield washer fluid level failure"
I checked all teh connection back to the instrument cluster, the Blue, green, gray. All are secure.
What is wrong?
Hi Neb
Sorry for late reply.
Glad you issue is sorted now. I would have suggested to unplug everything and then plug everything back in. Which I'm guessing is the car equivalent of turn it off and on again
cheers
Jack
