I was wondering if anyone here has installed the Denison Ice-Link themselves. A cursory look at the trunk has me wondering where the fibre optic cables are located. I really don't want to disassemble my car if I don't have to. Any information would be appreciated...

 

The lines are orange. I have installed one and many Sat systems. Ask away.

 

There are tons of people that have installed it themselves (including myself) and posted pictures .. search for dension!

 

Orange is good. That's a start. I assumed it would be best to look at the CD changer and backtrack from there, but the changer had no visible means of attachment and the navigation/DVD system is right up against it. Ideally, I would like to put the system in the car, but assumed the trunk would be easier. If you could tell me how or where they run to the head unit or how to remove the CD changer to access the plug, that would be great. If there's an easy way to access the fiber optic cable from inside the cabin, that would be useful too. Thanks for the help, I'm getting too old to spend much time beneath the dash without paying for it later.

 

The way the chain works you can not put it first in the system. It needs to come after that. The system uses two lines. There is a in and a out line. I have mine after the amp and Nav but before my Sat. The orginal orange lines have a arrow showing direction as well as the new plugs with the Dension. I have my actial unit behind the door on the right side. Also it is a bigger pain to pull the PCM than the plastic cover in the trunk. Once off you will see the amp, lines and such sitting there. took me all of 20 minutes to install.

 

Since nobody really answered my initial question and I had to figure it out myself, the cables I was looking for in the trunk are located on the side of the CD changer closest to the cabin/navigation system. There are fibre optic cables running from the navigation system to the changer. The Denison system can be put in place of the CD changer quite easily. The attachments for the CD changer and navigation system are obvious once you remove the enclosures around each. This can be done by pulling both enclosures upwards (towards the sky). The navigation enclosure is removed by pulling it up and then slightly to the right. The enclosures reattach simply by reversing the process. I'm adding this information because people are so quick to suggest a search before asking pretty much any question. I did the search and found no information on how to access these cables.
