Hi Globe,
To put the S-AFC into the tray require a lot of custom work and cutting. I used a dremel to cut out most of the plastic. Then I use a trimer to trim the edge. I spend about half a day working on it. The ash tray can be remove easily, it is only connected via clips. You need to move the shift *** to N, then open the tray and pull.
To hide the wire you need to open the center console area (the wood piece). First remove the trim around the shifter. Then pull the wood piece upward (you might need to use a flat head screw driver with some tape to help you get started). It is held via clips only as well. Once you pull up a bit, remove the connected for the VSC and seat warmer switch (all the lexus wires are cut to almost exact length, so very little room to work). Once you open up everything, it will become clear what you need to do.
Sorry I don't have the pics for all this stuff, but you should be able to find them at Autotoys.com . Search for Lexus MD installation on their site. Good luck Ray!

One thing I don't get, why do you need to get the center console piece out? Doesn't the wire run from the ECU, through the firewall hole, then into behind the console? When I was installing my RSM that's what I did, and I didn't even have any wires to run near that wood piece (except my G-Sensor) so I don't get why you need to take the wood trim piece out.
Doesn't the wire run from behind the center console to the ashtray directly? I have no idea why it should pass under the shifter part.
And don't worry I know how to take the ashtray and the wood piece out. I do it at least 3 times a day!
