Default Convenient route for wire from frunk to cab?

I want to put a monitor on the car's battery to keep an eye on the rate of discharge while the car's sitting in the garage. I would like to put the display in the cab. I have to run something like a 4-wire telephone cable (remember those?)

Anyone suggest a convenient route for the wire?

thanks,

Dan

No need to do that. Just buy a monitor that plugs into the cig. lighter. Mine monitors the voltage on a digital screen, and has 2 plug in ports for accessories.

You can get through a rubber plug on the right hand side about 1/4 of the way over, I did it for the sat antenna in mine.

+1 - In the passenger footwell, there is a rubber grommet that you can slip wires through. I used it back in the '90's to run a CD changer cable. To access it from the frunk, I detached the fuse box and moved it to the side so I could reach the wire.

I just ran a coat hanger through it with yellow tape on the end so I could see it, just had to remove the panel that's on top there, nothing more.
