I found the grey wire behind the control panel buried under all the other excess (WAY EXCESS) wiring.
Remove shore power.
Remove the screws holding it in. Carefully lean it forward. Take a picture in case any terminals pop off so you will know where they go. Reach in and Carefully lift the wire bundles to get more slack so you can pull the control panel out further out of the way.
Now lift up the wire bundles and search for the grey communications wire.
I did not use it. I ran a new one (cat 5e wire) to my Victron BMV-712. I also left a pull string in there that goes to the basement. It has come in useful in pulling other wire for other projects.
