Hi best Route wouid be,
through the passenger side Rear corner, pull back the storage thing where the Cd changer sits and you shouid find a Gromet in the corner, thats how mines wired,

as for Tow bar socket - Wiring have alook at this link.
http://www.towitall.co.uk/towbars/wirin ... structions

it be just a case of looking at what colour wires go to the indicators Side lights /break lights shouid be easy enough to work out by looking at the wiring going into the clusters,

Youd be best Adding a fused link to all live feeds to imho

hope that helps if any.
