traction control and fog light wires too short!
has anybody had the problem of installing a cd player and because the cd player goes deeper into the dash the traction control and fog light wires are too short to reach the buttons? its not a big deal but really annoying.

No but I ended up with so much room in there I can put my whole head in there and wire thing up! Oh and I ended up making the wires longer to relocate them for even more room!

Well no HVAC so lots of room! Well not a good place for the alarm. easyest hiden spot on a F-body is the driver kick panel! it fits nice 5screws to get to it with the door open the whole time. and a good shop would remove the 2 8mm screws that hold the steering harness and wire the back side on the harness, so when it is rebolted in you can't see the alarm wires! Just MY 0.2

Can you not wrap the wires around the side of the head unit instead of going all the way around the back of it?
