Very simple. Get a hanger, cut the hook off and make it straight. Pull the ash tray out stick the hanger through till you see it under the dash. Use electrical tape and tape the wire around the hanger very tight pull the hanger through gently till the wire comes through and there you go if you cant fit it through the back of the ashtray, you may need to cut a little off with a dremel tool to fit it through...

(not sure if that answered your question)

I stuck mines through the ashtray and then along the side up to the firewall. Just pull on the center console plastic piece and the wires should fit inside just fine. Might have to use a little force to slide it in between that plastic and carpet.

Oh yeah, that wire that you mentioned behind the ashtray, i wired the afc wires underneath that. hope this helps. GL
