Default APEXI SAFC-II installation question

I have APEXI SAFC-II for my GS300 1998. And I want to install it.
Anyone, who already install it, please show me some pictures of routing harness from ECU to fromt panel.

There is a hole right there in the firewall that you can fish it through. Take out the rubber boot, tape the wires to a long flat head screw driver and fish it through. Real simple

Im sure it has to be pretty similar to the GS
It is not similar because in GS300 ECU located in engine room, at left side from a driver.
And I must route SAFC-II harness from front panel to engine room through firewall.
Where is nearest hole in firewall at the driver side? How I can find it?

You will need to remove the SRT ECU to run the SAFC2 - you can't have both.

Get on your knees and look underneath the steering wheel area- look where there is a black rubber plug with wires going through it at the firewall- that's it.

Hey man,

I am at work so I cannot take pictures. It is above the carpet where the metal is. I don't know how you can miss it. If u look under there you can see a hole with stuff going through it. I don't know what else to tell you??

the area that jonny is referring to should be really easy to access.. all cars have them and i remember it's just a rubber plug with a hole tight/small enough to let certain wires through without letting a lot of hair in into the cabin area where your feet are.. good luck finding it! if you find it - don't make a hole too big you want it just tight enough where the wires snugly go through so your feet won't be all hot all the time from engine heat..

jonny you got a job like me lol i just sit on the net all night too what do you do?

Here is a pic of the far pper corner. The spot is up passed your emergency brake pedal I used duct tape to tape all the wires togather and taped to a close hanger. go slowly so your hanger does not poke some other wires. Tape the end of the wire I used some soapy water to help it slide thru.

I first poke a die size hole in the rubber gromet on the engine side .
