Interior to engine compartment

Hello brothers,

I need to pass a cable from the front to the head unit. Is there any opening where the cable can pass through?

If there is any DIY tutorial I appreciate...

Cheers

Thank you for your answer my friend. That foam it's under the passenger seat or on footwell? :)

If you have DSG, there is a rubber bung that is where the clutch pedal would enter the cabin - I used that to pass power through to my amp. I can find you a pic if you need it.

I asked this same question for my bi-xenon wiring, I used the one where the clutch pedal should be, may have to remove the plastic cover above the footwell as shown. Circle in red is a foam piece that can be just pushed out, though should be left in place to retain water proofing, just poke the wire through at the side.
