Ok Gary, ignore the stereo installation portion of the message as I had done that long ago (I don't have the nav system, or the audiophile option, so just the most basic of stereos)...

So let's change the question...

I'm looking for a good place to install/mount a scanguage or similar device (PDA, whatever)connected to the obd-ii connector under the dash (similar to what you have done and use every day) and I have a nice space in the middle of my dash that I can make use of, and I'm just curious as to whether there is a clear path between the connector under the drivers side dash area, and the area behind the stereo.

Thanks,
jeff.
