Looks like a decent spot if you can get the cable behind the dash. I am debating just doing the wideband teporary for tuning, then puling it after. Unsure at the moment... keep going back and forth lol

You can fish the wideband wires into the cubby through the USB port hole. Pop out the USB, cut a groove in the USB hole for the cable so the USB will fit back in, stick a coat hanger through USB hole, get under the dash in the most uncomfortable position you can imagine, use a flashlight to see up there and use your hopefully tiny Leprechaun sized hands up there and grab the coat hanger, use a lot of electrical tape on cable to secure it to the coat hanger and pull it through. I used the cigarette lighter wires for power....

thanks for the info. I may do something like this when I get closer to warranty end. I have never been good at laying on the floorboard and being a contortionist to run wires lol

i like that!! Always forget about the cubby, thanks for your input! I noticed that the gauge does make some noise so that might be a permanent solution.
