Hello Folks,

I have removed the factory-fitted CD changer (in the boot) and head unit from my Mk3 Chimaera but I cannot work out how to remove the long cable that connects the two. On the end that starts in the boot, I can tract it back to the pillar that sits just behind eh passenger seat but I can't work out how to go from there. Any help greatly appreciated.

I don't know for sure but it probably runs along the inner sill by the side of the seat, you could just coil it up and leave it tucked in that door lock aperture in case anyone wants to put it back to factory in the future.
Make sure you tape the connector up well if you do this to stop moisture ingress.

The cable route is inside of the sill and comes out of the A pillar under the corner of the dash.

I can get at both ends but no matter how much I 'encourage' it, the cable won't pull through the sill from front to back or back to front of the car. Any suggestions?

Why do you want to remove it?
just leave it where it is.

It is probably taped to the main loom. Worth giving it a good tug.
