Great, thanks. I'm aiming for the cig lighter or, maybe, the ever popular HomeLink fuse. But again, what would be the best direction to take? Where exactly should I push the coat hanger wire through? Should I try going straight from the center speaker to the fuse/glove box area?

One variant I was considering is to go "backwards" first: towards the dash vents and then turn right and go along the dash trim all the way to the glove box.

Is there a straighter path?

(BTW, what specific "cover under the dash" are you referring to?)
