C5 Battery Disconnect

[Dircon]

Hello Guys.

2001. C5 Exclusive SE V6 Auto.

I really hoped that someone here would have had some info' as to how to route an Aux' Input from the back of the Radio to outside the Front Fascia. Preferably, via the Ashtray, which sits beneath the Climate Controls, and in front of the Gear Lever.

However, it appears that nobody here has any knowledge of fitting an Aux' Input.

So, I am just going to have to carry on regardless, and attempt to fit my new Connect2 Aux' Input.

What I do hope you can help me with now is:

Obviously, in order to fit the Aux' Input I will need to remove the Radio. I have already, (due to previous jobs undertaken), needed to twice Disconnect the Battery. I then followed the BSI Reset procedure. I don't really want to do it again just yet.

So, finally my question: Is it essential to Disconnect the Battery in order to Temporarily remove the Radio?


Any help with this Battery question, or with the Aux Cable Routing would be very welcome.

Many thanks,
Paul

I have an aftermarket Alpine radio fitted with a rear cable routed to the glove box for my iPod if thats any help? I took the glove box light out and used a round file to notch a hole in the side of the clear plastic lens. I fed the cable through the aperture and then pushed the lens back into place with the cable secured in the notch. Mines an SX so no nav system in the glove box, can you do something similar with your Exclusive?

Thanks, I'll check out your suggestion, as soon as I get the time, and a dry day.
