Fishing a wire to HU
Hi, I tried installing a backup camera today...I have an 04 touring roadster. I installed the backup camera to the rear, fished the wire into the trunk. What I can't figure out is how do I fish the wire from the trunk, through the car, into the front compartment, through the center console, and into the HU. Anyone have insight on this?
I did search, but all the DIY are on coupe editions not convertibles.

Then, as David (dkmura) said, you'll need to run it through the rear bulkhead (where the rear speakers are), under the center console, then up into the waterfall/instrument panel where the receiver is. It's a matter of removing all the respective panels.
If you want, PM me your email address and I can send you the stereo system install instructions for the coupe. Not sure how much the rear bulkhead differs from the roadster but at least the how-to for the console and IP are included.
First time install of an HU and speakers (excluding amp install) took me maybe 90 mins being very cautious. Now I can probably get all the panels out and chase a new cable in about 30-45.

If you have a Touring roadster you have the Bose system correct? The amp is located in the trunk on the left side of the spare tire well - just follow that wiring loom to the front.
Or if you dont have the Bose, the antenna lead is on the same side of the trunk, you can follow that wire.
With the top in the semi closed position (main top down, but rear/5th bow up and compartment lid up) you should have easy access to the top storage compartment, just remember to secure everything you run down and keep it under the vinyl protector and you should be fine.

You could just tuck the wires into gaps between the various parts and carpet but you risk cutting or damaging them.

1) you can now buy a wireless cam, which avoids the wiring hassles.
2) the Bose doesn't have a screen
