Default Permanent WB wiring routing?

About to install a PLX/dashlogic WB setup and build in specific alarms to allow a trouble free setup!!

I have a bung welded on my Texas speed header (driver side) for when I tune.... But of course now just going to have WB data that I can watch on the DIC any time I wish....

Plan run an OBD2 extension that goes under the drivers seat to connect the dash logic and I think that would be a great location for the small PLX box as well!??

Question is is there and places in the tunnel, etc that have a gromment opening to run WB wires through??

Rest of the install should be pretty easy, Ground/then key on power to fuse 37 in the trunk and share that fuse with my meth I assume??


Open for ideas!! I'm sure some of you have a permanent WB installed
Thanks

If no grommet, maybe routing up through shifter opening? Even if you needed to drill a hole in the base plate, adding a rubber grommet and sealing seems pretty straightforward.

I took a longer way and routed it through an opening I found inside the driver fender. It was a PITA but it's clean. I have the NGK O2 sensor wired into the Ballenger motorsports display and have it tucked in the cubby in the infotainment center in the dash.

I too just ordered the DashLogic to feed this into that as well as easily read Ethanol content without plugging HP Tuners in all the time.

Cool, thanks! I'll check that spot as well... I use a NGK afx with Ntk sensor to tune with, interesting how close this Plx with 4.9 Bosch sensor will be..
