EU-Z28

Yesterday I tried to install my new aftermarket Head Up Display unit for my 2002 Z28 convertible. One wire is to connect to the car's Vehicle Speed Sensor output wire. According to search results on LS1tech it seems, that this VSS-wire comes from the PCM's white plug and is colored dark green and white. Unfortunately I don't know so much about engine electronics, so I need your help, please.
1.) the HUD unit's wire now ends under the glove box at the BCM. I think the PCM is in the engine compartment, but of course there must be a wire from the PCM to the speedo. Is there any wire under the glove box, that I can connect to? Please, keep in mind, I'm a total idiot in car electronics, so, to avoid failure, I need an explanation with as much exact information as possible (location, color code etc.).
2.) If there is no way to connect to a wire near the glove box: How can I get the HUD's wire from the passenger into the engine compartment? Please, don't say "go through the firewall", I did read something like this, but I don't know, where the firewall is and how to go through it.
Additionaly, when the wire is in the motor compartment, I don't know where to connect it. I the think, the PCM should be located on the passenger's side near the window. But all I can see there is a lot of wires with two plastic shields 'Do not overtorque', no box with plugs.
Please don't say: let it do by a garage. I'm located in Germany, the next garage specialized in US-cars is about 200 mls away from here and local garages don't have any more clue than I have.
Thanks so much for your help in advance.
