Don’t want to, that’s why I am looking for a longer cable. Otherwise I’ll just have to crawl through the back to get to the battery under the cargo floor. The NOCOs are such a great size, don’t want to have to buy a larger charger in order to get cables that will reach the correct clamp spot. Empirically we know that the negative cable can clamp to the spots in @lsft video and not cause the ECU damage. But I’m wondering if those two spots are 100% safe. Guess we won’t know until someone fries the ECU and reports back here.

Otherwise I’ll just have to crawl through the back to get to the battery under the cargo floor. There is no need to crawl through the back to get to the battery. As long as the NOCO is ≤ 15.0 volts, it should be safe to use. To access the battery in the back, you can connect the positive cable of your booster pack to the positive post in the fuse box, and the negative cable to the strut bolts. That will power up the vehicle.Do not turn the power switch on (ready) and just open the back door to access your battery. (this is just FYI only)

However, I don't reccommend anyone to jump start the car by connecting their booster pack directly to the battery posts either. The luggage room relay and junction block assembly is right under the battery. You could fry the Battery State Sensor Assembly that is attached to the battery negative post.
Follow the battery jumping instructions in your owner manual.

Wait “and the negative cable to the strut bolts. That will power up the vehicle.””

You can use another battery jumper cable as an extension. I looked for longer cables for the NOVO. The company doesn’t make them. Have you found compatible cords? Can you post a link?

Stupid question, don’t kill me but, can I just clamp one of the generic double clamp negative cables to the negative NOCO cable, and that’s a safe extension? It’s that easy?
But this is where I clamped when I jumped my car 2 times.
I just picked up my NX350h this week, and I'll give the tech guy credit for making a point to show me where to jump using a battery pack without being prompted When you're giddy about taking your shiny new car home from the showroom, the last thing on your mind is a dead battery!
My battery pack has very short cables, but reaches the two points you highlighted in the video, which are also the same as the ones I was shown at the dealership. Those battery packs are a lifesaver, and I've got one in every car (including my work vehicle) because I've been in some very inaccessible spots (including deep in a single-car garage) when my car has needed a jump. I have jumper cables for emergencies, but the idiot-proof features of the battery packs make them a must-have item. Everyone got one for Christmas last year!

That's it! If you don't want to splice your NOCO's negative cable to make it longer.
I opted to extend the two cables by adding a 24" section into both of them. This was very easy to do with the two items that I purchased on Amazon. I used my crimping tool and a heat gun on the shrink tubing.
I have two NOCO Boost modules, one for each of my 450h+ vehicles, and chose the 10 ft lengths in order to extend both units. I still have six feet of each of these cables and a box of the butt connectors, if anyone else needs them to use on their cables, let me know. They are for 8 AWG cable.
