No need to pull back the oem wiring from the front. Someone relocated the MID to the rear and it worked perfectly. He popped the pins out of the original connector, insulated them and left them behind the ashtray, after noting the colours and position on the connector. Using the now free connector he searched a couple of looms for the corresponding coloured wires at the rear and popped the pins out of the connectors they were on. He then re-inserted the wires/pins into the matching positions on the free connector from the front.
