sfhondapilot, I doubt there would be enough room to tap into a wire. It might be possible but it won't be fun.

There was an attempt to show how to take that corner tray out in one of the PDFs that I attached but I never got it to work. Since I was able to attach the plug and socket by feel pretty quickly, I didn't try very hard. Most of the documents were for 2005s and before so maybe there was a change. Good luck!
