I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to see how the Audio wire can be run from the front panel all the way to the center armrest in the middle so that it can be plugged into the Aux. Most videos just partially refer to this portion of the installation and do not provide details.
I think - you run the Audio cable from the front dash to the Pax side of the Central Console and go below the carpet. i.e. no need to go into the glove box right? Then you run along the carpet towards the Center Armrest Box. Here is where I get stuck. I do not know how to get into the center armrest box from here.
Are there any drawings or instructions on how to do this? Or can I request others to share their experience?
Thank you in advance.

This isn't too bad to do. First Tape off your trim where you plan to leverage and also tape off the back of the shifter. Next pop off the shifter console cover. Start on the front left corner and using a pry tool lift up. These are stuck on there good. Then continue around the trim pc counter clockwise. There's also a clip under the molded pocket. Next remove the four torx screws in the corners of the shift assembly. Lift it out. If you need more room, disconnect negative battery cable and remove the connectors. Easy access to route the cables once that assembly is removed. FWIW I came in from the driver side.
Next remove the front most A/V cover in the armrest...pry from the top, pops off easily. Open access. You'll need to file some holes in that panel to allow the cables to pass through. I used a triangle cross section file to start, then finished with a round file. Note that the location on the bottom right is not a good location. Go up midway on the panel instead. In the bottom right there was a thin tab on the armrest console that interferes. It's tight down there, but I used solder to melt the thin tab and remove interference.
