best way to run LC-1? what is the best way to run the wires for the LC-1 from the bottom of the car into the center console? I am going to start wiring mine up on Thurs and want a heads up. Thanks
I just ran it right up under my feet through the rubber grommet there...the floor mat sits on top of it, so I don't even notice it. Not the most unnoticeable place to run it through, but worked for me.

I ran mine up and through the rubber shifter boot on my M6. I then tied it into the power and ground of the TCS harness because I don't have TCS. 
The wires are all in my console area. I then ran the OUT cable that I needed to log with out the console under the cupholder on the pass. side. I guess "best" way would be a matter of opinion...or more of which install you like for your use. Good luck!

ok cool, so i guess the wire on the wb itself is long enough to get in there?
where do you guys get your power from? i know about getting it from the o2s and all but im thinking of maybe the fuse pannel

i am hooking up the LED and switch for calibration, now one is hooked up to the calibration wire and the other to an unshielded ground what is that? can i hook it up to the ground of the outputs?
I tapped into my fuse panel for power. It was the easiest place to get it. I am not sure what you mean by "hook it up to the ground of the outputs". The calibration wire, when connected to ground just starts a reset cycle in the controller for the free air calibration.

i meant can i connect the ground for the calibration switch to the analog and system grounds going to the chassis. i did it that way after reading some things. the only one i see that should be ground separate is the heater. i have it all in there and wired up and i will prob put the WB in tomorrow.

Mine is run behind the engine in the engine bay, ziptied to the harness around to the drivers side and enters through the steering column boot. For power i had it spliced into the cab fuse box and grounded there to the chassis. The serial in/out is ran through the dash and comes out right under the floor heater in the center of the dash.

Here are the pics of the way I decided to run it. Grounds are to the master cyl bracket, power is to the gauges 10A fuse so that way it comes on when the key is turned on and wont restart when the motor is started, it just stays on. The switch is in the ash tray, the LED is on the pillar so I can see it, plus it looks kinda cool lol. The A/F gauge is for the WB, I will use that until autometer comes out with their WB gauge with digital read out.
