b) Drilled a small hole.
c) Filed the hole to make it bigger.
d) Once I could get the connector through (barely so a tight fit). Connected the iPhone. Secured the iPhone with a few rubber bands and pushed the iPhone back/ pushed cable inwards to get the exact position I wanted the connector.
e) Poured oodles of hot glue in the underside of the baseplate. Let is rest for 45 mins
f) Also made a slight indentation (filed) on the side of the base plate to route the cable (not really required, just makes a better fit).

Well done! I'll follow your lead when I get my car. One more thought though,
Does the phone get inserted on an angle, if so, are you concerned about the connector being bent?
