Does anyone have any guides or experience on getting the wire down the A-pillar and to the fuse box in the passenger footwell? In particular, how to get the A-pillar trim off?

In my old car (an E92 3-series coupe), I found it possible to route the wire down the front of the A-pillar without removing any trim or interfering with the airbag. However the shape and fitting of the A-pillar trim in the X3 looks like it's going to prevent me doing that, and will have to be removed and run the wire behind the curtain airbag that extends across the top of the doors.
IIRC it held on with bolt under the airbag plastic badge. Be careful not to break the trim as it’s easily done when trying to remove after the bolt is removed.
