Antenna wire routing

[blan09]

So I replaced my head unit and power antenna. I need to run the new antenna wire to the head unit. I left the old one in and just snipped it where the antenna is mounted. How difficult is the routing of the new wire? Does the dash pad have to come off? I searched the forums and didn’t see much.

I just drilled a new hole to much of a pain to reroute the cable

You drilled a new hole where? In the firewall?

I just tied a string to the old and new cables, removed the head unit, and then pulled the old cable which drug the new cable with it.

That’s why I snipped the old and left it in there. I wasn’t sure if it was secured anywhere along the way between the head unit and the antenna

Has anyone actually ran the new antenna wire without snaking it through with the old one?
