Just replaced my 2011 Subaru Forester with a 2017 Forester. In my 2011 Forester I mounted my HP 2 in the open storage area forward of the shift. There was an opening in the back of the storage area and I routed power and antenna cables behind the dash through the opening in the back of the storage area to my HP2. It looked and worked great!
My 2017 Forester has the same storage area forward of the shift, BUT NO OPENING IN THE BACK TO ROUTE THE POWER AND ANTENNA CABLES!
So, it looks like I'm going to have to drill an access hole somewhere in the rear or side of the storage area in order to run my cables.
SO, I thought I'd check and see if any of you have done this and could advise me if there is any room behind or to the sides of this storage area before I'm on my knees jamming my hands blindly into the back of the dash. Thank you.
Right now I'm using one of my BCD325P2's in a drink holder......it's just not the same. 😕
