Just installed a MUD Dash from the UK, but not sure how to run cables to it. At the moment the majority of them will come from the box under the seats in the back (Defender 130).

The idea is to run them through under the cubby box and out between the chassis & floor rubber then either into the engine bay and back in somewhere else or straight up from the fuse box. All cables will be in conduit pipe (the stuff with a slit down one side) to protect them.

Any ideas?

There's no need to go into the engine bay, Defenders have built in trunking from one side of the dash to the other, behind the instrument panel through to the wiper motor, and from the fuse box up, all going to the hole behind the centre instruments in the centre of the dash, right where you want to go. Just use some very stiff wire, (I used a choke cable outer) to snake through and use for a draw cable for the cables you want to run. I used them for my sub woofer, central lock and alarm cabling, so there is plenty of room in them.:D
