It wasn't a big deal running the four wire setup on my 83 Westfalia.

Disconnected the wires in the overhead storage compartment in the rear.

Agressively taped them to a 4 wire (telephone cable) and pulled them
carefully down through the winshield pillar to enough length reach my
radio.(use about a 4" wrap of tape on the cable side by side) A little
silicone would probably help but I didn't need it.

If you loose this wire then you have to go at it the hardway removing
your headliner and trim all the way to the rear.
