DIY Cradle Install

The dealer will sell me the iphone snap in adapter for$124
And told me that the car is pre wired for it based on my VIN number." You just got to fish them out." Ive had the whole console apart and I don't see the wires.

The "prewired" armrest has a release button inside the armrest that releases the bottom of the compartment and exposes the wiring plug at the rear of the compartment.

The regular armrest does not have the button, false floor nor plug connections for the snap in adaptor.
