Go very very slow when cutting the boxes out. When you see the big globs of glue remember that is where the clasps are and you don't want to cut them. Wear safety glasses that stuff flies.
Use a dremel and a cutting tool. Broad tip for the globs and very narrow for the long runs. Mine had very little glue on one side and then a generous amount on the other.
I ran the harness down the passenger side across to the accelerator and through the hole above. Then behind the battery tothe passenger side of the trunk through the cd changer hole and back across.
The PNP parts kit has enough wire to do this. The accelerator hole is easy to find on all I guess but some people swear there box doe snot have some of the other holes cut out and plugged with grommets.

Hi,
Great Post! Good advice, especially about using the Dremel.
But, there is a difference in the install instructions between the '97-'02 and the '03 and beyond which you may not be aware of. The difference concerns whether or not you have the M441 (Dash Speakers) or M490 (Harman Amplifier) Option and your MY.
In the '97-'02 models, you connect to the Radio, not the Amp (regardless if you have the M441 or M490 Option), so there is no need for
this lister to go through the Firewall to connect to the Amp as you suggest. He will simply plug into the Radio Connector in the Cabin.
For your MY, the instruction you gave is correct, but only if you have the M490 Option, if not, you still connect to the radio.
On the OEM PNA 986 Kit Rear Speaker Kit, Installation for a MY '03 and beyond w/ M490 , you must also use an Amplifier Wiring Harness Adapter and PNA 721 043 00 034 Amplifier Wire Connectors, both of which are included in the Kit. Refer to TSB Group 9 #0301 9142. Hope this helps...
Happy Motoring!...Jim'99
