Remove the armrest bolster, unbolt the seat back and all will be easily accessed...what you do with your cabling after that is your choice- Id probabaly go behind the rear quarter panel which the mids are mounted in...?
Thanks!!
Is that photo showing the C pillar and under the rear shelf, from within the cabin, with the seat back removed?
Here is the howto https://www.sportsmaserati.com/index.php?threads/rear-parcel-shelf-removal.351/
Worth taking out the parcel shelf to thoroughly clean the back window/brake light area, remove any dead flies, dust, etc.
How does the sound get from your boot to the cabin?

So in fact the bass is coming from the resonance of the car!

These are pretty good and fit under pass seat and have a remote bass level control.

Hi Gooner,
I've decided to replace my chinese Android PC with the same pioneer unit you have. Just waiting for the extension lead to arrive.
I've sorted out most of the wiring back to original (and note your tip on swapping over the red/yellow leads for the pioneer).
I think you said you didn't bother with the connection to the handbrake? Not sure which of the two wires I should connect to...
Did you leave (number 10 & 11 blue/white mentioned on page 3 of the Pioneer installation manual) connected or did you disconnect them?
Do you have a reversing camera? I can see the phono connector for the camera input but my camera also has another wire - I cant find the instructions for that now (!) I think that will connect to the violet/white lead on the pioneer as the 'reverse gear signal input' but not sure!
Thanks Gooner - much appreciatedHi, hope I can help after all the help you gave me .
I did connect the lead to the handbrake in the end, it is pretty much essential if you want to use all the setup features of the Pioneer. I wasn’t sure which of the two wires to connect to, as I couldn’t work out which was the +ve side. In the end I tried one, it was the wrong one so I unclipped the fastening (carefully), put a bit of tape around it and tried the other one, which was successful. You can tell quickly if it is working because some of the setup options grey out if the handbrake is down/off.
I don’t have a reversing camera yet. I’ve got to take some time to work out a route from the Spyder boot. Probably not hard but had a few distractions from real life in recent weeks.
I can’t remember the blue/white wire, I’ll take a look at the instructions and my photos to remind myself, then post here.
Thanks Gooner - much appreciated
Just refreshed my memory about 10 and 11 on the ‘Power Cord’, 5* and 6* as they mark them in the instructions. I decided I didn’t have an auto aerial so didn’t connect them together. I think it’s if you have one of those aerials that extend when you turn the stereo on. Seems to work anyway, not had any problems.
Have you tried using one of those cheap FM/DAB signal splitters? I couldn’t be bothered to remove all the windscreen trim to fit a proper one, quite a faff on the Spyder. The signal from the splitter is definitely not as good as the DAB aerial I bought, but I was surprised how well it works. FM seems fine.
