Scion tC iPod setup?

Scion tC iPod setup?
I've hooked up my iPod to my tC using a Neo Ion kit, but now I'm having trouble with the setup. Everything works properly, but there is still one thing wrong: there's no place for the wire that's connected to the iPod to pass through. When I try to put back the upper part of the console, the wire is sanwiched under and I'm worried it'll malfunction over time if it's kept squeezed like that. Can anyone help me on this one? If you have an iPod hooked to your tC, a pic and/or any help is definitely appreciated.

Try running it through the ebrake slot. That might work.

I tried the Monster setup that hooks up to the lighter, but it sounded far worse than I imagined.

I have my iPod connector run under the console. Then I took the armrest off and there's a "secret compartment" inside where the armrest connects to the console. I stuffed the rest of the wiring in there, and drilled a small hole to the inside of the center console where the other power outlet is. So I just put the iPod in there.

1. remove shift ****
2. remove panel section around shift **** .. pinch and pull on the top two parts below the center controls, then work your way back, and pull the sides near the ebrake towards the back of the car.
3. pull e-brake up, and pull that section up by the change tray -- Yeah, you have to pull really hard for this one.. it's stubborn -- make sure your change tray is closed and your cup holders are empty!! . Once you get it.. work your way back.
Hope this helps!
Personally, I'm running my PIE auxuillary to the arm rest box where it'll plug into a Belkin charger with the line out near the charger... that way, all I have is the 'dock cable' to connect when I want to listen. No controls through the stereo, but that's fine with me. I can hold the iPod or its remote in my hand!
Hope it works for ya!

The shift **** screws off, everything else is just clips inside with enough outside to hold onto so you don't have to get technical. -- oh, but be sure to tie your cables down or secure them somehow -- wire-ties, or zip-ties -- you don't want it to get caught in your shifter or e-brake mechanism!
It's actually pretty easy.. I used to have to make adjustments to a low quality RCA-Stereo cable that I started with -- I was even tempted to try it at a stop light.. but never did.. cause, you never know.
