Relocate Temp Control - 2000 Boxster

[apswater]

I am trying to move the temp control to the bottom slot so I can put the cup holders in the tops slot. I have read all the online instructions which say re-route the cable to the bottom. I looked and looked but can't find a path. Has anyone done this and you you tell me how the #%@^%# you get the cable down to the bottom? Does the whole console have to come out or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.
