The glovebox didn't need to be removed. I was installing cabin filter and new LED.
In the photos you will notice the center console is stripped of wire cover/electric tape so I can trace it back. Once I had enough room I removed the drivers side cover holding the extra buttons. Popped in the DAC and protected the wire with plastic and electric tape. I reinstalled the drivers side cover and moved back to the center console area. In the end I moved my buttons to a light, usb, light switch configuration and did some cable management on the remaining wires.
The Rig prior to the operation.
My first step was to install LED glovebox and shifter light. Then remove all center console covering. After that i move to the center dash and remove the plastic cover.
Next I stripped the electrical tape/plastic sleeve from the wiring harness (i used a rounded exact-o knife for accuracy.
I stripped up to the point on the right of the photo. I removed the driverside dash under the steering wheel and prepped the area (just took out the empty button). Next i routed the DAC wires (notice on the left of the picture three visible wires running from right to left along the middle bottom area) to the drivers side where i removed the empty button.
Mounted and covered the exposed wire with plastic sheath and electrical tape ( No Picture )
As you can see from the photo on im starting to clean up the cable and recover it with the plastic/tape.
Dont worry about other wires in this picture they are related to another project I was working on. I was wiring my PIAA 520 to a FJ switch without a harness (previously worked but the backlight wast hooked up)
Final product, next step as stated in previous posts are the blue light and USB hole
