Cable Pass Through from Armrest Storage

Do these cars really not have one? Depending on the cable I use, I get some play, but not a lot. Even my recent purchase of a flat cable gets stuck at points.

Am I missing something?

I guess it depends on the situation.

I have the belkin cup holder iphone 6+ mount and use the usb cable through the Armrest storage and it gives me enough play. I can get more slack if I need it, and tuck it back into the armrest to make it cleaner looking. I'm actually pretty pleased with how it works.

Yeah, I tucked a flat cable under the plastic trim near the driver's seat. Wound it behind the leather knee pad and into the belkin cupholder mount. Looks great.

You will need a 6' cable, I have a flat one, but that might be optional honestly.

Cool I ended up doing mine yesterday morning. I used 6ft also and kinda squeezed it into that same spot. I also have the same belkin holder.

Now I just need to find a dock that fits in the cupholder and doesn't require plugging in the lightning separately
