Hi mate,

You need to remove the headunit to get behind it if that s what you mean?

Then, if you look towards the back, there is a hole of the left hand side, in which you can droip your RCA cables down, and then run them under the glovebox to the side, and then down the side of the car underneath the plastic trim, into the boot.

Hope that helps,
Alan

Re: Rca Cables Mk2 Punto

is it a standard headunit? dont think they have RCAs on them but if its aftermarket then do as A1ant said but try to get the wiring down into the corner away from the plastic trims, it can get pinched and short out.,

Re: Rca Cables Mk2 Punto

I did power down the left hand side (when sat in the drivers seat) as thats were the nearest grommit was. If you look towards the right hand side of where your radio goes there will be another hole, just drop your RCA's down there, a bit of fiddling and they should pop out near the pedals, then just under the carpet, door sills and tada
