Hi everyone,

I’ve got a 2023 Seat Leon FR Evo 1.5 TSI and I’m currently installing a Vibe Powerbox 400.1 amp.

I’m trying to route the power cable through the factory grommet underneath/behind the glovebox on the passenger side, but I’m struggling to locate where it exits in the engine bay.

So far I’ve:

  • Removed the battery
  • Fed a chopstick/draw rod through the grommet from inside the cabin
  • Managed to get roughly 25cm through, so I know it’s entering the engine bay somewhere
The problem is I still can’t see where it comes out. I’m guessing it’s hidden behind insulation, the battery tray, or somewhere under the scuttle panel.

Has anyone with a Mk4 Leon / MQB Evo platform done this before?
If so:

  • Where exactly does the grommet exit?
  • What parts need removing for access?
  • Is there an easier route people are using?
Once the power cable is through, I’ll be routing it to the rear for an Audison subwoofer install.

Any advice, photos, or guidance would be massively appreciated. Thanks!
