I'm running my IceLink cable to the front of the X, and I'd like to get high-speed and run it up from under the center armrest, into the top (small) compartment of the armrest. Of course, that involves removing the center console.
According to RealOEM (

Once that's off, it looks like there's six nuts/screws, and then the whole console should come off the bracket?
Thanks for any advice. Unfortunately, I neglected to take any pics as I disassembled the (almost) entire rear of my vehicle to route the cable from the connector at the rear, up the driver's side rear seat, and then under the carpet. Since I couldn't get the center console thing figured out, I just ran it up through a hole I made in the carpet under the driver's seat. I don't have too much of a problem leaving it that way, but it would be SO much sexier to just open the top of the armrest, and have the iPod connected to the IceLink right there!
