running wires for rear view - backup - camera

[tvmaster]

I've been searching all over this site but can't find any photos on how people have run a wire from the back of an aftermarket headunit to the rear license plate area for a rear backup camera.
Has anyone done this who documented the process in pictures - a link would be really helpful. thanks

you may want to look up audio setups since amp wires need to be run to the back of the vehicle in those installations.

I'll try searching for that - haven't found anything yet, but I'll keep at it

What I did when I ran wiring into the trunk of my sedan from my trunk popper. Keep in mind I was also doing this so see what I was up against when I run amp wiring. And note that other than the upper portion of the rear seat (about six bolts) (and maybe the b-pillar cover -- seatbelt has to be unbolted IIRC) everything is held in by friction or speed fasteners. So pulling everything out doesn't take very long........

Correct way to do it:

Remove the sill plate from both passenger doors
Remove the passenger side kick plate
Remove the dash trim piece
Remove the glovebox
Remove the PJB cover
Remove the b-pillar cover (I think, can't quite recall if I can to pull it)
Remove the bottom part of the rear seat
Remove the upper part of the rear seat
Remove the rear trunk area panel
If you are mounting the camera in the trunk/hatch lid, remove the trunk/hatch lid panel
Remove the passenger/ driver trunk side panels as needed

I ran wires from trunk lid, through the rubber connector, along the factory harness, across the rear seat following the gas-door release cable, and then followed along the wiring up the passenger side to the PJB. I ran the wires through 1/4" PVC tubing to prevent chaffing and tie-wrapped at every change of direction plus every foot or so. I used some self adhesive anchors to secure the wires to the body where there wasn't an existing harness etc. to secure it to.
