The build manual indicates to tie wrap the cable to the IRS lower control arm. It does show a picture of the older IRS though. There does not seem to be much spare cable and I would think if it were tied to the suspension the movement might cause unwanted Ebrake activation. Is this an issue? Does everyone tie wrap as recommended?
Lots of black in this picture so I am pointing at the cable in question.
The instructions for the 2015 IRS e-brake installation are in the separate 2015 IRS instructions. Maybe there's a newer version of the manual that includes the 2015 IRS, but it's not in mine. Anyway, the 2015 IRS instructions don't show a tie wrap and I didn't use one. Just looked at mine. The cable is fine looped from the attachment at the caliper and over the top of the center section.
