HVAC Control Relocation for Double Din install?

[mikesz]

I have a 99 Boxster base. I am trying to re-locate my hvac controls to allow for a double din install. I am trying to locate to the bottom of the console as many others have done and I have the dash trim piece. Problem is getting the wires to reach. I have snaked them down and run them through the oval opening in the steel bracket behind where the cubbies go but they are just a little to short for me to plug them into the hvac controls. can anyone give me instruction on how the were able to do this? I have removed the side panels and cubbies from the lower center dash. Do I need to remove the plastic frame that the cubbies go into? I have looked at threads for the double din installs and cant seem to find info on this other than relocating the controls.
