PROcede ground hide/connect

Question to long time PROcede owners. Is there an alternative way to hide/connect PROcede ground loom, exept the one shown in the install video? Thanks.

I am working on a PnP solution for both power and ground. I am currently just waiting on parts (which had to be ordered from Germany) which shipped last week.

You can run it through the same hole that some (including me) have run the USB cable into the glovebox. Click here for the DIY. I used this serial-to-USB cable. Cheap and compact.

I should mention that I tried this, and grounded to teh large silver structure inside the glovebox where I have my boost gauge grounded. While the ground worked fine for the boost gauge, it wouldn't work for the PROceded. Threw all kinds of codes. I must have screwed something up but I gave up on the ground through the ECU box. You'll probably have no problem though - I am sure I jacked it up somehow...

For a long time I obsessed with hiding the ground wire, then I realized that there's no way I would ever take the car to the dealership with the tune installed (or any engine mods for that matter), so hiding the ground wire became a mute point.
