OEM CD Changer Cable Routing ?

I just purchased a 2004 S and also bought a used OEM 6 disc CD Changer. I found the factory wire harness next to the HK module in the boot but was wondering how the cable runs from the compartment out to where the changer will mount. Is there a hidden hole somewhere I can't see or does the compartment cover stay removed? Thanks for the help. Oh, a pic would help as well showing how the changer mounts.

I remember having to do a little fishing but if I remember correctly I was (barely) able to work it out from under the trim piece without having to keep off the cover panel. The CD player comes with a mounting plate that uses the same holes that are already in the trim pieces. I think there are 3 screws that can be removed and reinserted with the bracket in place.

I'll take a look in the morning and confirm my memory.

Thanks for the quick reply. When my changer arrives I'll give the area a better lookover for cable routing.
