Rear Mount USB Locations

I was just curious where people have placed their rear mount USB cables.

I'm currently finishing up the mod on mine. I'm running the USB cable from the rear of the stereo to my center console storage area. I'm putting it flush right below the center closest to the cup holder. I'll have pictures up in a day or two once I get it all finished. Right now the glue is settling.

Anyways, pics if you've got em?

Glue? I put mine in the same place but I bought a panel mount USB cable that attached with two screws.

Yeah. I didn't see any I particularly cared for. Besides, the way I did this I can swap it out later if I decide to. For now I think it looks pretty good. I'll probably have a couple pictures up in a few hours.

I routed a USB cable to my glove box and plugged in a USB powered 320GB hard drive. No muss, no fuss, plenty of storage space for what ever is needed.

Dang... That's not a bad idea. I'm trying to set my car up enough to bother going to local car shows, and that would be a very nice addition. Running perhaps a laptop size external hard drive would rock.

This is exactly what i have, bet you can find one or something similar. Organizing the music on the hard drive helps a ton depending on your head unit.
