Default Aftermarket GPS wire install/placement? Easy solutions?

I picked up a Navigation Plus and am trying to figure out the best way to run a wire without needing to take off a ton of trim to get it in place. Has anybody done one of those cheap wire unit installs? I checked online for help vids, but most seem to be custom work. I imagine that there is a quick way to the dash for the head unit for the GPS wire, but was hoping for some expert input. Thank you in advance.

Follow-up to my install. I purchased the RSN-E and didn't have the navigation connector, so I purchased one off of ebay for $6. I used the furthest right spot of the dash in front of the passenger and was able to remove the trim panel between the dash and the door. This allowed me to get a tight fit of the wire and hid it inside the trim, then tucked in above the trim on the footwells. It snaked over and up into the radio without any notice of wires. Once the Nav calibrated the location, it works perfect. I didn't want to have the nav head unit (2" x 2") on the dash, but it is out of the way enough that it doesn't bother me and the wires tucked in make it even more invisible.

Thanks for the eyes and hope this helps someone down the road.
