Default wiring route from engine bay to dash ?

I have a wideband O2 to wire into the 996 for some data logging so before I go randomly disturbing panels and trim to find a suitable wiring route from the engine bay to the interior, I thought I would ask the question from those that might have already been down the path of having to run some kind of wiring from the engine bay to the dash area (near the OBD port).

So please sing out if you have any tips on the best wiring route based on first hand experience ?

Cheers.

there are 2 (left and right side of the car) rubber grommets that can be sliced way at the back located at the back deck over the engine. When I did my PSE wiring I went along the driver sill, on to where the back speakers are and up to the back deck. You will see a grommet that can be sliced "X" and put your wiring through. Why go through the OBC? Is this for the air/fuel mixture?

Thanks Ferdinand, so which pieces of interior trim had to be removed to pass the wiring along ?
