Mercedes-Benz E220 W212 Avantgarde - 2012
Glove Box wiring

I am trying to recreate the android car pc from https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...5-android.html in my W212 E-Class 2012, with a Raspberry Pi running RASPBMC instead of an android PC. But i cannot figure out how to get the cable from behind the COMAND unit (the Video AUX) in to the glove compartment.? I have been searching the forum and the internet in general, but haven't been able to find some useful results??

Does anybody here know how to do this?

Is it even possible to wire something to the glovebox without taking the entire thing apart?

Any help will be appreciated
