[Guide] Reversing Camera OEM Cable Routing
- Thread starter 911Jon
- Start date
Hello,just had this done and would like to say thanks to the people that posted threads detailing there own experiences and advice on the job. A couple of things we discovered that might help people attempting this are that if using a dremmel or similar to cut the hole,it is much easier to do from inside the tailgate and once you have the wiring along the roof and down the a pillar and after removing the end panel on the dash and the head-unit, you can fish the wires through without removing anything else,hope this helps anyone doing this

run the cables above the roof lining to the rear D pillar,
pull out the rear light cluster and feed the cables down the void to the existing door loop area,
you can take out the rubber bung at the top to help fish a draw wire through,
then feed it through the existing cable loop to get into the inner door.

whats the best way of coming from outside in , with the wires from behind the camera , if that makes sense
drill up into the plastic part (near the number plate light)
many thanks will have a look at weekend
Absolut5 , Thank you for help back in January. I have just managed to get the cable for the camera from back to front, so just need to connect into the red and black wires. I assume I am connecting into the red and black wires coming out of the mutli pin connector, is that correct? What would you recommend I use to make the connection?
The red wire is not coming via the connector blocks but out of a largish black box, which in turn connects into the blocks.
The unit is DNX518VDABS
Thank you in advance.

Thank you, reassuring I am looking at the correct wires.
Are you able to sell me a replacement loom modified to include connectors for the camera?

Thank you so much for the offer. I took the plunge, now spliced and soldered and all works.
One final question (I hope). I have not managed to get the nav instructions onto the MFD (I have audio). Paul (@Pauly) had a look when he coded my headlights but did not want to mess round to much. He said you were the man.
You guys are so helpful I hope somehow I can return the favour.
