Sorry to hear about the broken tidbit.
Let me explain how I accomplished the task. I removed a lot of plastic. Entire right side foeward of the side luggage, including the sound deadening inside panel under the body work. I removed enough plastic on the left side so I could remove the the front bodywork around the headlights and right side headlight assembly. Detail wise, this require removing the two mirrors, and wind deflectors also. I also removed the right side speaker grille, but do not recall that being a must do item.
Deviating from the instruction, I did not remove the switch panel or upper console. I too had concerns and did not remove the switch panel. I did not remove the handle bars. All work was based on front or side access.
I installed the harness. Removed the oem plastic cap to feed the wires through the bars. The harness will wiggle through the oem hole in the bars and feed aft. Reaching through from the right, the wires are fed to the oem wire bundle holder / support. You then work through the headlight opening to keep things moving. The manual shows the harness going over the the previous models airbox. Mine ran similar and from there I followed the existing wire harness aft. I refused to follow the instructions and lay a power wire against a steel fuel tank. So I followed the existing harness along the right side down low.
The 2014 does not utilize the extra supplied wire adapter harnesses. Yhere is a connector mounted aft of the fuel tank. That is power and ground. The audio is tied to the side of the fuel tank. The new GPS harness was too short to reach the power using the route I chose for my wire run. I un-mounted the power connecter, it is on a push in plastic tanged pin, like you see to hold door panels on a car. You can also leave the tanged pin installed and slide the connector off the pin easily. I moved the connector outboardseveral inches and tywrapped it to the frame. All wires easily reach.
I spent most of my time looking for the mythical plug for the GPS supplies extension harness. I wound up taking apart a lot more plastic and even removed the radio unit looking for it. I spent a lot of time looking at online parts manuals for various years, and even some good and bad you tube videos for earlier years. If I had to do this again, it would be an hour to hour and a half job max. The instructions are just wrong for a 2014 RTs, and they supply a bunch of extra cables not needed.
My only issue was when I inspected the radio unit, it has a rubber cap over another connector. I was inspecting this to see if that is where the GPS supplied extension harnesses connected. Unfortunately for me, when I removed it, I very slightly tore the rubber latch. No big deal, since it still seals the connector but it bothered me. I assume that is where you pug in for a CB radio. So if anyone installs a CB, and ha a good untorn rubber plug to part with, let me know.
Hope it helped, sorry for the delay, I was in seminars alll day and will be in seminars today also. I will check back during the day for questions.
