I would take it to the dealer to keep from voiding your warranty.

I found a way through the firewall on the passenger side of my 2014. No drilling required. There's a rubber grommet sitting there doing nothing as I recall. I'll see if I can get a picture during lunch.

Upper left hand corner of the fire wall there's a donut sized rubber seal with a wiring harness in the center. Lots of room on the outer edge to snake a wire through or around. I reinforced the section touching the donut and firewall with a small piece of hard rubber hose and wrapped it with duct tape. Can't see the hose though in the picture.

I wired mine right to the fuse panel inside the vehicle. Not much amperage draw.

What gauge wire should I use on the anytone at 6666 ?

If the long wire isn't enough, #8 should be fine.

Great thanks!!!

I think I used #8 as well. Just running a 2/440 50 watt radio but my intent next week is to install a Power Pole power block under the dash.

12awg will cover up to 20amps. 10awg will cover up to 30amps.
