I know this is a really old thread but I have a few queries regarding the install.

I have a G20 330i but I assume the basic part is the same regarding pulling the obd2 cable into the car.

1. I opened the compartment under the hood and snooped around trying to find a way to get the cable inside. I saw a circle in the firewall that looks like it’s covered with the same material as the rest of the firewall (but it has a circle cut out). It was below the plastic part for water to drain. How hard was it to push it out into the driver’s side footwell?

2. Inside the car, under the steering, do we have to remove the bottom panel by unscrewing the two locks? I looked around today, without undoing the locks and dropping any trims, and did see an opening in the footwell on the firewall that looked like it was the other side of the circle in the engine bay side. But I’m not sure. Is that the opening?

If you could post a few pics of how you got the obd2 cable inside you car, I’d be grateful.
