I drilled a hole in the silver pin, put a small wire-tie through it loosely, then put larger wire-tie through the small one, tightened the small one, now I have the larger one sticking up where I can grab it a lot easier.
I used a 10" length of 1/16" cable that I can easily reach just behind the headrest on both LH and RH sides. Now that I've completed it, I think 12" of cable might have made it a little bit easier to reach and flush with the seat back, but this works fine.
I drilled a 1/8" hole through the post on the latch, looped the cable, and crimped the cable connectors.
I agree that there is not a huge amount of space back there, but I now have easy access to my amp mounted on the back wall, and some blankets and other "just in case" emergency stuff I keep back there.
Thanks for the pic's Kingement, I did this mod today, used 3/32 cable as it was a litttle stiffer and and easier to grab. Cost me under 3.00 bucks for supplies from Home Depot and an hour of my time. It maybe something small but I love it, have my first aid kit, jumper cables, road side emergency and chains back there (still room for more less utilized items to stuff back there).
Yup the 2011 is exactly the same thing. I had not bothered to lower backseat so I didn't really know how until this thread. Works great. Just stuck my jumper cables, tow strap and blanket behind the seat.

I tried it last night. Someone suggested using the closed end of a box wrench to pull the tab. worked great! I was able to access behind the seat. Good place to keep those items you'll rarely need; and a good spot for an amplifier.
I was about to put a cable on this peg, but I noticed the seat only comes forward about 8 or 9 inches and won't fold down all the way. Is that what it's supposed to do? The pic shows the distance mine folds forwards. Or am I being a wimp and just need to man handle it?
