Hey… I’m new to the forum. I am about to install a new aftermarket stereo in place of the original stock tape deck on my 2001 LX. I bought a cable that directly connects the ipod into the back of the new head unit with the new head unit. I wanted to run the ipod cable into my glove compartment because I don’t want my ipod in view when I get in and out of the car. In particular, I wanted to ask someone how I could place the cable in place in the compartment without duct/electrical tape or trying to drill holes in the plastic as it should fit in the space without drilling? Also, I wanted to ask if anyone if they did a similar install on a 2001 and if so is there is anything out of the norm that I should expect or suggestions to make this project easier?

it should run straight from the radio to the glove without drilling or whatever

you might want to zip tie the cord somewhere so if it ever falls you dont have to go digging behind the glovebox for it

wow, I am having a sever case of been there done that. So the solutions have been pretty good, a really easy thing to do is pop out the two little tabs on the glove box, and that will allow you to see a small portion of the stereo. Run the wire from the back of the stereo over the top of the glove box, and down into it. I agree in thinking that you need a way to keep the cord from falling out, for that one you are on your own, tape, zip-ties, all that is based on how clean you want the look to be, even if it is in your glove compartment.
