Help with rear camera install

[Ginga]

Hi guys,

I'm days away to install a new head unit and rear view camera.
What's the best, easiest path to run the camera cable? trough the floor, sills, and up the boot lid or maybe route trough the headlining and down the A-pilar?

Anyone done this?

What's your take on this?

Thanks!

I went along the top/headlining, and then down the driver's side A pillar lining with the power feed, eventually terminating in the centre console cubby hole below the HDU unit. It was relatively fuss free, except for the headlining above the visors. There is a lot of room there and I had to use a small amount of Blu-tack to prevent the wires from emerging from the roof lining.

Seems like a good option.
Thanks!

Can you please post some pictures of the result, and maybe explain in depth where you ran the cable etc?

I've got a rear view mirror camera builtin which I will install on my V40 soon, so any help would be cool

I’ll try to make a diy when I do it.
