How did you get cables (antenna and remote?) through to suitable points in the cabin from the bay in the boot?

Though mines a D2 and it looks like you have a D3, so maybe someone else can advise....

I can get to the back of the ski hatch area where existing holes in the metal can probably be enlarged to come through the fabric behind the armrest. But it's all pretty solid trying to get away from there.
I've got an alcantara parcel shelf with Bose speakers and rear blind and it all feels VERY tight. And with airbags in the rear seats I'm cautious about poking about blind.

There seem to be a couple of screws under flaps in the carpet that I guess retain the back seat cushion. Is that easy to take and and would it help?
