Seeking ideas to route a USB cable on the Dash?

[buildintechie]

Hey all-
I installed a Bulletpoint mount for my cell phone on my 2500. Since I've got a 2021, I don't have wireless carplay. Does anybody have a suggestion on how to route the USB cable up from the USB ports to the top of the dash, without it looking completely fugly? I was thinking of running it along a seam, but would like ideas on how to make it stay. Photos below. Thanks in advance!

That dash part is easy to remove; I'd suggest you put a notch at the bottom to route the cable out the bottom and then drill a hole in the trey at the top.

No need to cut a notch at the bottom or drill a hole at the top. There are two screws in the little tray on top of the dash. Take out the screws, then gently (with force) pull on the radio and it will pop out. Then run the cable as you wish. Pop the radio back into place and put the screws back in. Easy as can be.

Not great pictures, but you can see how mine looks,

Where does your cable pop back out?

My cable comes out just behind my Course Motorsports phone mount on the left of the second picture. I also had one popping out at the top of the dash right by the 12V plug. You can kind of see it in the second picture also.

That worked great! Thank you!

Doesn’t it pinch the cables?

Haven't had any issues yet. It is a tight fit, but the cable I installed is still going strong.

Thank you, I did it. Looks better than just being loose lol.
