Hi All, Well, I've inspected under the bench and can't seem to see where the wire harness from the computer goes into the engine compartment. I tried fishing some large tie wrap that way but could not get it to go. I'm not really crazy about running the video wire that way anyway... So I tried fishing the video wire along down the bundle that goes from the A/C connections behind the rear cabinet but it just feels too tight to pass the plug portion. I think the wire itself would be fine but I'm not going to push it. So I think I'm going to have to drill another hole beside the hole for the A/C bundle. Underneath it feels like there is some kind of composite but it just might be accumulated dust/oil and such. I think the best thing would be to start with my Dremel tool as it has a better chance of getting in there than my Makita drill. What do you guys and gals think? Thanks, Steven 91 Westy
