I'm doing this at the moment on my 2012 P2. To say it's 'a bit fiddly' is an early contender for Understatement of the Year 2017!

I've ended up making the following modifications to my frame:
1. New hole in front the top tube by the stem for the Di2 cable to go into
2. Enlarge hole in seat tube where the mechanical cable comes out to allow a Di2 cable to pass through it
3. Enlarge hole at bottom of bottom bracket shell and through the carbon fibre web above it to allow two Di2 cables (front cable and cable to RD) to pass through it - I've enlarged them to 9.5mm.
Then it's a case of using wire, string, cotton, old gear cables and magnets to thread the cables.

Yeah that's it. That's what I did.
It wasn't that bad, I've done more fiddly jobs. but I did swear and take a few tea (frustration) brakes.
I used a bike stand to hold the frame upside down, gravity then helped thread the cables through the holes, just change the angle of the frame.

Gravity and magnets. Watch out for the black hole opening.

Were T Brakes two iterations before V Brakes?
