Where did you get the pins and plugs from? Very interested in making it reversible.

I had a friend order them through the dealer. I believe the items were 61132360043 & 61138373583 but I still didn't get the male pins which my friend provided me. You need 2x of each part number.

The cable has a good amount of length and I've chose to mount the Solo in front of the center-left vent using a Proclip base (that's for LCI dash) and some adhesive velcro that's quite strong. Credit to dvas for this setup.
Note that this only works well with a Solo 2 as the original Solo doesn't pickup a strong enough signal from this point so you'd have to use the suction cup windshield mount.
You can see the Solo in in this screen grab.
I don't have any photos of the wiring itself, but here's how the cable sits as of this moment. I may take some time at some point to route it a little better as there's several options that could be a little cleaner, but this works well for now.

Mine is setup the exact same way. Used a proclip base and a ram ball mount screwed into it. Works great.
I even went as far as mounting a surface mount avionics jack under the passenger footwell so I can just plug the solo unit it when I got to the track, and don't have a bunch of wires dangling around. I did have a drill a hole into the underside of the panel, but it's a cheap part if I ever return the car to stock.
