It is a pain... You need to remove the rear door panels to access the nuts you will need to remove the get the upper seat back off. The rear center console needs to be removed as well which is quite the magic act. To remove that you need to use a dirft through the holes on each side of the bracket that mounts it. The drift will allow you to push the plastic holding tabs on each side inward to release the center cosole.

The bottom cushions ull right out. Just stick you finger underneath the front of each lower and feel for the plastic release tab/buttom. Push it and lift the lower up and out.

A dift is like a blunt ice pick.

To get the cable from the trunk to the front you will need to remove the rear seats and follow the factor wore harness along the left side of the car. Then split from the harness and run the rest of the wire around the rear floor board and pull the wire under the carpet to the center console.

Do a search for my pics and instructions on how to do this with my IceLink install from last year.
