OBD wire for JB4--is install through footwell grommet the only option?

[flowerbunny]

Is it feasible/easier to route the OBD port wire through the door jamb on a stinger? My son has done this on his Kona (just have to pull up door weather stripping and pop it back down over the wire) and it makes uninstall really easy, but looking at my car it isn't clear there's a path to do this. I've search forums/web for answers and haven't found anything. Thanks in advance

Yeah I run mine through the door jamb and through the top of the guard into the engine bay.
Tape the connector to a length of soft wire and feed it through - comes out next to the bonnet hinge. You may have to shave the sides of the connector a little bit to get it through the gap.
