Is there a way to pull a coax cable from the trunk into the backseat area

This is my first post on the board.

I have tried searching the board, but didn't find this topic discussed.

I am a Ham Radio operator and would like to pull a coax cable from the trunk into the interior of my S500, preferably under the rear seat. I tried this with the BMW 740I i had, and finally had to drill a hole in the trunk wall. I would really like to avoid that in this car.

As anyone found a way to do this?

Thank you for your help.

Take the backseat out and follow the Audio system wires. Be very careful drilling holes as the Gas tank is between the trunk and the backseat! KF0OL

Are you putting a linear in there?

Nope, no linear. Just want to pull a small diameter coax so I can use my 2/440 mag mount antenna.

Thanks to KF0OL. 73's WA6JBI
