Run on passenger side, remove glove box cover, all bottom covers, rear seat out, C pillar cover, release roof linning in few places and HU.

I'd run it above the head lining, down the a pillar on passenger side, remove the cover below the glovebox (just two screws then it slides forward & off) then through behind the HU.

No need to take the a pillar trim off, you can just push the cables behind it from the door seal side. I did the same at the front of the headlining for my dashcam cable, not sure if you can do the same along the sides.
