  • Running a cable into estate tailgate

    Has anybody but a reversing camera on an estate and if so how was the wire ran from the body to the tailgate.

    best guess would be under the trim panels behind the boot, down the pillar (or through boot and under seats) and along the footwell trims

    have you thought about a wireless one?

        can try behind/at the side of the rear seats, if not try following the wiring through the the rubber tube that links the cables front and rear that you see when the tailgate is open

            Hi Arnie
            How did you get on, threading the wire through, did you manage it???

              No didn’t try the camera interferes with my radio signal to much to make it worth it

                Just fitted a reversing/rear view camera. Removed the tailgate inner trim and and the two side trims, surprisingly easy to thread through, when they are removed.

                      Put my rear camera just above the number plate, now the cable doesn't reach the position I wanted. Would do if I put were you've put yours. Trouble is my windows are tinted. Anybody know if tinted would make any difference????

                        My windows are tinted and to honest the tint didn't make much difference in the video, working fine as far as I'm concerned - - Dave

                            Dave Do you realise that you have just condemned me to some grunting and groaning, I'm going to have to move mine now. What did you fix the camera to the screen with???
