Helped needed! MIB1 to MIB2 cable management

[PxuL]

Hi guys/girls need a bit of help. I've done a mib2 upgrade on a mk7 golf so I'm familiar with what to do.

In my MK3 Leon I'm struggling to route the cable from the usb dongle in the middle storage compartment under the air con controls up to the infotainment unit. I'm not really wanting to remove the air vents up top is there any other way?

There is a guide section pinned to the top of this forum:

Removing Interior Trim - A Simple How-To For The Facelift Leon

Hi guys & gals, Just a short one for you today on how to remove the trim around the gearstick and the heater control unit. You may wish to do this to modify or decorate the trim, or to access areas hidden behind. Only a few tools are needed for this, and it takes around 10 minutes to remove...

Might be able to access if you remove air-con control unit and/or pull screen forward.

And workshop manuals here:

Bizzarely enough, done this today myself.

Assuming it is a RH drive car, take it to the right of the screen into the speedo compartment (you will have to remove the speedo surround (pulls off) and the clocks themselves (two screws underneath), though you don't need to unplug them. Then straight down, feeds through ok, to the left of the steering column. Remove the panel at your feet from the centre column and you can get access to feed them into the top of the USB compartment.

Thanks both for your replies! Managed to sort it the following day. There isn't a need to remove vents or Speedo just the air con unit/storage compartment and the screen itself. Managed to feed it near some metal bracing from the glove box side. I stuck a white long zip tie from the glovebox into the middle and taped the wire to it. Very tight space and managed to cable tie the excess cable behind the Aircon unit as the infotainment has barely any clearance to push the cabling back in.
