I ran mine from starter through a geometry in the steering wheel rack rubber to a kill switch above the shifter. Then from there under passenger front seat and to the rear seat and then along body wheel arch through boot to Batt box. I used conduit to reduce chance of arcing if cable wire through in 200years . Formed conduit to body shape by heating over camp burner and holding it to the car. Then fed cable trough once formed.

ok noticing that i have a ute, would putting an hole near starter at firewall, feeding it up over the tunnel inside the cable behind heater unit, down underneath the carpet on passenger side, putting hole through the rear behind seat of car into the tray, then earthing it in the tray area, would that work and pass???

i hole-sawed a hole in the bottom of the firewall, put a gromet in it and ran the cable through there.
Ran the cables through the car under the carpet

straight through the cabin to the starter motor, the connected everything else off the starter, connected alternator charging wire to same post on starter, works fine

Make sure to get a breaker switch rather than a fuse, maybe 100amp or so. I'm not sure what the current draw from a datto starter motor is but if you have a battery that is not quite up to scratch the starter will draw huge current and any inline fuse will blow.
