E55 wiring from trunk to engine comp.
As I begin my meth install, and data logging install (Zeitronix / Dashdaq), I have some wiring to do.
I am looking for some advice from people who have done wiring. I pulled the crap out of trunk (I have the no spare model), and inspected the fuse block and battery location. Next, I pulled the back seat out.
It looks like I can get from trunk to under rear seat through existing hole (Passenger side). This looks easy. Next, it looks like I can fish a rod through the wiring duct that runs along the door sill. There are wires going in (at back seat), and they come out under the panel in the front passenger seat area. Has anyone attempted fishing this, or does it require pulling up the moulding and carpet.
I will need a number of wires, and will probably install another fuse/realy box in trunk.
Here is what will need to be run:
1/4 tubing Trunk to Engine (For Meth Mix)
Pump (Trunk) Signal for solenoid (Through Realy) to Engine compartment
Wiring for Wideband O2 to Drivers Side dash
Additional wideband sensors from engine compartment to drivers side
Any advice on getting wires back and forth. Thanks!!!!

I need to run wires also and I was looking to run along the door jam. I also need to get to the antenna modual in the let rear pillar. Anybody know how to pull the real panel off so that I can get to the pillar?

I bought a thin (1/8") flexible cable pole (glow in the dark) from home depot, but could not get through door sill without disassembly. I went under carpet between seats, on passanger side. That was easy. If you need to get into pilar, you will need to take stuff apart, and I did not attempt that.
Pole works great for rest

I figured out how to get into the pillar today was a pain but worth the effort. I have figured out all the antenna wires and now have the correct adapter. So one step closer to getting set for a head Unit replacement.
