N55 running USB cable from ecu to glove box?

I have looked and looked but I have yet to find a DIY for running a USB cable from the Ecu to the glove box for an N55 setup. I have found DIY's for the N54 but no N55.

I'm sure it's not too hard but having a visual walkthrough would boost my confidence to be able to do this without breaking anything.

Please help

If you stare at it for a couple of mins you can see what clips hold it in and just slide out most of plastic walls in there and see the hole in the bottom.

Also I did a dry run for jb4 install the other night and it looks like either the previous owner or dealer never put everything back together properly
