How do you remove this plastic trim from the side? The usual pry tool doesn’t seem to be working or I’m not trying hard enough. Any help? And is it possible to run a cable under the trim, along the fender and into the cabin (behind the dash)?

Did you pry up the little plastic pin in the center of the clip before you tried prying up the whole clip? Once the center pin is up it should come out easily. As for the wire I'm sure there is an access hole somewhere I'd imagine.

I ran an OBD2 cable through the firewall on the other side of the engine bay, not sure about this side. I would just pull the trim and look for a rubber grommet, etc. I followed the instructions on the jb4 website for the other side. If you scroll down through these instructions, you can get the idea. Good luck!
