You'll have to pull the back of the seat apart or you could use a long piece of thin plastic. Poke it through until it comes out the bottom then tape the cables to it and slowly feed them through.
Would be better to pull apart as then you'll know for sure where the cables will be sitting.
Post some pics once on the seats as would like to see what they look like in the car.

It looks as though half the work has been done for you already in that the wiring for the screens runs through the support post tubing. You'll then just need to feed it through the seat tithe floor or wherever necessary. For that you'll need to work out how to dismantle the back seat covers to hide the wiring. Shouldn't be too difficult by I don't have a guide to hand. There must be one out there on the net.

Good luck with the install.

Thanks But there is every other car on. YouTube and the net. But no Tiguans. Some one here must have installed these. ?

Because I have those trays on the back on the seats it makes getting your hand up there near impossible . So I wound the back as far forward as I could and there are two openings either. Side near the pivot Points. So hopefully I can get the cables down. To there.

I installed the headrest DVD players made up a neddle for threading a cord down to the base of the seat back

[ian]

I tried to thread I down past the seat back tray but it was a no no so I removed the tray and was able to get the cord to there

Using the needle I then pushed the cord down and out at the base of the seat

i could then tie the cord onto the end of the DVD connection cable and pull it all the way through .
