Routing wires behind the dash

Hi guys. I’ve got a load of usb stuff installed in the car so I’ve stuck a cheap usb hub behind the glovebox.

Problem is I’ve got a phone holder on the driver’s a-pillar, how can I route a power cable from there to the hub? I can’t find any easy route behind the centre console/ radio area.

I tried to yank the knee bolster off to see where it could go and I’m glad I gave up - it’s a ***** airbag!!!![emoji95]

    As above, bit of a faff but I used a stiff plastic rod and just wiggled it through fastened the cable to it and pulled. Make sure you don't foul the operation of the pedals or switches on them.
