Yes, you'll have to go through the firewall (sorta). The way i ran mine was that i took off the pollen filter cover, removed the pollen filter, and ran the cable down through the cabin behind the glovebox. There's just enough room aroundthe climate control fan housing to squeeze your cable through.

To me, that was the easiest way to run it without actually having to drill through the firewall itself.

I ran mine down the drivers side, I put it through the hood release cable hole, down the drivers footwell, and ran it under the trim to the trunk.

If you do this, just make sure you get the hood release grommet sealed up with some silicon or something so the water doesnt get in.
