5. Route the camera wiring into the vehicle. The wire can be run
through an existing grommet, behind a tail lamp, under the trunk
molding, or if necessary, through a 5/8 inch hole drilled near
the vehicle’s rear license plate. When choosing a wiring path,
make sure the cable will not be damaged or pinched, as this
may cause a short circuit that is not covered by the warranty. If
drilling a hole, perform the following steps:
A. Acquire a 5/8 inch drill bit and rust preventive, all of which can be
purchased at a hardware store.
B. Check behind the intended drilling location before drilling to
verify that no wires or mechanisms can will be damaged during
drilling.
C. Check for interference with license plate lights and the hatch
release switch and/or mechanism.
D. Drill a 5/8 inch hole at the selected location.
E. Coat the edge of the hole with rust preventative.
F. Route the camera cable through the grommet and then through
the hole.
G. Insert the grommet in the hole to keep water from entering the
vehicle.
