Default Aem wideband install questions

I am looking to install an aem gauge and wideband into a z06. I plan on installing into the cubby behind the radio. I will be using the mms box to mount it. I looked but didn't see any write ups. Does anyone know of a write up for the routing of wires into the cubby and a clean/safe way down to the wideband? I can figure it out as I go but appreciate the info.

I did this exact install and it was a MF*******R. I should have documented it, but it was mostly me cursing. you need to pull all the trim (there is a DIY for that : https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...nger-dash.html)

I ran power from lighter by the shifter, but getting the feed signal into the cubby was a huge pain in the ***. I will send you some pics when I get home of where I ran my wires.

To be honest I do regret installing it in the cubby as I used my cubby a lot and it is a pain to open and close the cubby to view the Wideband. If I did it again I would either just run it loose stored under dash until the car was tuned or get a P3 gauge which is a cleaner simpler install. I never really look at it now that the car is tuned properly.

Personally, I would use a wideband like the innovate LC-2 that does not have a display and wire it to a P3 V3 gauge that mounts in the drivers side air vent. Simpler, cleaner install that doesn't disrupt the use of the cubby or the radio/nav display. Plus you can monitor other crucial info on it as well.

I remember seeing the single and you were looking on the double. I like it, it came out nice. Are you releasing the STL for it?

No luck I think the back when I commented the guy was making, but never heard from him if he was willing to make for others. I definitely like the setup
