How to run wires for ipod in armrest

I didnt order the usb option so I use a charge adapter from my back power port and want to run the wires into the armrest so I can keep my nano there. Without drilling into the back of the factory armrest, how do I get the wires in? I see wire runs going up each underside of the armrest arms but no way in. Any suggestions?

You have to take part of the armrest apart to get the wires up into the armrest. there is a panel on the bottom of the armrest that just pops out if you push it backwards or forwards (dont remember which way it is right now) but then it just pops out. then you can take a few other peices apart to get the wires up there.

Thanks, I finally figured this out on my own. I was able to fold/tuck the ipod connector and the ends of the extension cords under the rubber part at the bottom of the arm rest. I cut a small slot in the back for the ipod connector to exit and my Nano fits perfectly. Just need to slide back the armrest top a few inches to access.
