FitCamX Dashcam (power from rain sensor)

[whodat]

Coming from someone who doesn't like to make things more difficult than they need to be, and who hasn't played around with plastic trim or pillars etc, or has never run cables through a van, how does one run the cable to tailgate so it isn't too visible, and would it go to top of tailgate, or bottom? Does the cable get in the way when opening tailgate?
Or - just go for the front cam? Seems people are happy with these Fitcamx. Cheers.

The factory loom runs up the nearside B-pillar and along the roof line where it is jointed by a connector in the D-pillar, the loom continuing through the rubber boot in to the tailgate, down the nearside void between the window and the side edge.

Thanks.
So do we run a cable by the side of the loom or through it? (told you I was an idiot)

It’ll be bound together at points, and completely wrapped in Tessa tape at others - so you’ll run your cable beside it, including through the rubber boot.

Will have a looksee over the next couple of days to see if this chimp with fat fingers can do it - or might just go for the front one.
