Step by step instructions for passenger seat removal and antenna hacking...

Can someone post some details instructions for the passenger seat removal and how to tap into the satellite radio wire?

If it's extremely complicated, I'm not sure I'll even do it.


Also is there ANY WAY to do this without removing the seat?



thanks

Remove the four torx bolts, prop the seat up with a roll of paper towels, remove the four small phillips screws, underneath that is the Antenna lead(Pink). VERY EASY!!

To remove the seat:T40 torx bit and ratchet
To remove plastic cover: Phillips screwdriver
I was actually able to reach the cable by just taking off the cover. I didn't remove the seat. It's just 2 screws between the seat tracks in front of the seat and 2 screws between the tracks at the rear.

Appears that you do not have Sirius pre-wiring, there should be a plastic cover under the passenger seat. This is where the antenna lead is, as well as connectors for the OEM Sirius module.

Thanks, kookmyers. I got so frustrated I took a knife to the carpet, and voilà, the wire!
