I want to relocate my Business CD

I have a 2004 4.4 with MID and Business CD. I do not have a CD changer but I do have Sirius (I bought the car used and it was already working, someone must have paid several years upfront). I have decided to install an aftermarket double din radio and keep the original factory computer. That means the MID and CD can't be removed but they must be relocated. I have removed them from the dash to get a look around back there. I have concluded that the wiring can reach the glove box if I want to move them there. The problem with this idea is that I will need to cut a hole in the side of the glove box to get the wire harness connectors through.

Another idea is to put them under the driver's seat. The problem here is that there is not much room under there for both. Also, all the motors and wiring under the seat move when the seat moves. Another issue is that the CD can get very warm when it is running (would like to avoid a hot seat!). There is plenty of room under the seat for the MID and that location makes it easy to access it when I need it.

So I was thinking of moving the CD to the trunk area and putting it in the same compartment as the dsp amp. If I move the CD to the trunk, then I would need to move the radio harness as well. Before I go through the hassle of trying to move the harness I was wondering if anyone had a diagram on the wire routing? I am not sure if all the wires stay together or if they go off on different paths. If they all stay together and terminate into another connector then maybe I could find this connector and order another harness to route to the trunk instead of moving the current one.

If anyone has another idea on where to move these two I am all ears!
