Thread: Hole for reversing camera

Hi All,

Well I've taken the plunge with regards to the double DIN upgrade, and one aspect of that is having front and rear cameras for parking, and potentially, offroading. The front camera is easier in terms of wiring, but for the rear I wanted to mount it high next to the rear window washer jet. This position would either require running wiring through the taillight grommet area, up behind the ladder and across the roofline in the sill, or just punch a hole out next to the washer and run it through the cabin and out the hole.

I guess im just nervous about putting a hole in the car. But since I've gone to all the trouble of the double DIN upgrade there will always be a rear camera regardless of if it fails or I change head units down the road so I feel its worth it for a much neater finish. Just got to make sure its well sealed since these cars are virtually airtight from the factory :P

Thoughts and opinions please!

I've got mine in the same place.

This is the view I get (tow ball just in the bottom right corner).
