An update to my installation saga
Took it all apart again and found that the gps cable was slightly loose. Tightened it up with some pliers. While I was at it, I thought I would try the plastic cover in the glovebox again. Couldn't get my hand around the back to push it out so I got a knife and tried to maneuver it from behind so I could push the cover off. Needless to say, I now have a lost knife somewhere inside the centre console.

God knows what the consequences will be (rattling, short circuit etc).
I then got a small watch makers screw driver and managed to jimmy the cover out from the front. Honestly VW, what's the point of having a removable plastic cover that is so hard to remove?

Anyways, I managed to get the usb cable from the console through the opening and into the glove compartment. The ipod cable was to short to do the same, but since I'm not an Isheep person, I don't care. EDIT - Just realised there is an ipod cable I didn't connect. Oh well.
Thanks gviddy for the tip.
