What do I do to get through or around the crystal glass cabinet?

i dont have the glass cabinet, but a storage area. the chase on mine was above the top of it. so i took off the valence over the front window, and the chase cover in the cabinet over the sink and fed a wooden dowell through it with a dull point on it. wood so it wouldnt poke into any existing wiring in there. the dowell had a pull cord on it.

Thanks Tom. I may be able get behind the cabinet the same way. I wonder if anyone else has installed the "True Vision" system. It's expensive but sure is nice.

I did some investigation tonight. It looks like I can run Ethernet through the bays and up through the floor under the galley sink. Then up the wall aft of galley in half bath to the cabinet and switch panel above the microwave. From there forward through the galley cabinets with the removable angled panels.
Surprisingly, I am not sure how wires go forward from the glass cabinet above the mid-entry door? Behind the valance that runs between the glass cabinet and the entertainment system does not seem to have the removable panels creating a wiring chase, but the wires have to be transiting this area somehow as I can see them come into the forward part of the entertainment area on the passenger side although at a lower height than the chase behind the kitchen cabinets. Ideas?

mike, on mine there is a chase above the cabinet. you do not have access to it other than from either side. like i mentioned in the earlier post, i ran wires through it by taking the front valence down and the access panels in the cabinets over the sink area

Tom, I get the access panels over the sink area. How does the valance remove? I felt above the valance and only felt the rope lighting, no other wires and no apparent screws to remove the valance. So, where is the next access panel near the entertainment system?
Thanks
Mike

the valence has bolts in it and the nuts are on the inside of the valence. at least on mine.
on mine the valence goes from the cabinet over the door to the smaller valence that has the speaker in it over the passenger seat.
that smaller covered valence with the speaker has some screws on the bottom. they you lift it up and out.

At the coach now. I got the speaker valance down and found 3 bolts on back side of long valance. Does the curved chase cover just come down by removing screws along the bottom and the wire chase is behind that? I don't see any other screws except along the bottom edge of the curved chase cover.
Thanks

there may be more than the 3 nuts on the back. then it lifts up.
