I ran mine down the side near driver's door. there is a removable panel that you can route the wired down to the diagnostic port.

mounted the tuner in the lower left hand portion of windshield with suction cup mounting

I put mine in the overhead console in the door for holding sunglasses. That way I can close it and the tuner is out of sight. I removed the plastic A pillar cover and tucked wire behind it and under the roof liner along the top of windshield. Can't see any wire at all.

That is a great idea

Be careful about that ... isn't there an airbag in the A pillars on our trucks? Years ago a professional installer friend of mine was helping me, and we had to remove the A pillar trim on my 2008 Civic, and lo-and-behold, there was an airbag back there.

We ended up routing the wire behind the airbag to be safe.
