under the back seat, under the passenger floor carpet, under the
covering in the kick area in front of the passenger door would be good
places.

Pick one where you can do a nice job of running the hose over the
drivers door.

I presume you are adding a pneumatic actuator to the drivers mechanism,
and have some "spare" recycled Audi green plastic hose and connectors
handy?  or there already an actutor there, but with no hose running to
it?  I can never remember.

Anyway, sounds liek a cool project, please report in detail when you're
done!
