I’d like to do this. Does it require removing much of the dash to run the wires? Or can they be fished straight through to the fuse box?

You will need to remove the vent grille which is attached to the radio surround (see the ‘where the clips are’ thread for details of removing that). I needed to remove the dash surround and the clocks unit to get access to feed the wires around the bits supporting the dash inside the dashboard area.
To get access to the fusebox to add a wire terminal to it to run a dedicated feed to the socket you install, requires a bit more work, actually removing most of the dash panels is required to get the fuse box out (under dash panels, lower dash panels, gearstick surround, panel that covers the fusebox, glove box, etc etc)
It’s not difficult with a few trim removal tools and some torx drivers but there’s a lot that has to be taken out (and replaced) in the right order to do it. Certainly think about what else you can do while everything is apart, and source some terminals to install fuse ways before you start work.
