I used a Viofo A119 mini 2, which is very discreet.

So, how I did my rear dash cam, I just bought a second small one, and ran it off of the power that's already inside of the hatch, avoiding trying to run a cable all the way from the back to the front.

I could probably run individual wires through the tube then mod the camera cable to utilize those wires which might be the cleanest way to go.

I have the headliner of my 2012 CSBE removed for re-covering and thought it would be a great time to run the rear facing camera cabling, but I can not figure out how to pass the cable from the passenger compartment through to the rear cargo area.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

I have the headliner of my 2012 CSBE removed for re-covering and thought it would be a great time to run the rear facing camera cabling, but I can not figure out how to pass the cable from the passenger compartment through to the rear cargo area. There is a cable through point for some electrics (probably lighting) in a grommeted tube from the hatch to the car body. That tube is too small to get another cable through and isn't very accessible. I'm wondering if anyone has had success with this cable routing?

POST 2Original post

I posted this a while ago https://www.planet-9.com/threads/987-2-cayman-rear-camera-install.256811/?post_id=2237285&nested_view=1&sortby=oldest#post-2237285

POST 3Original post

Thanks for the response and the link to your great write up. I'm working up near the hatch hinge area since I'm installing a rear facing dash cam. I'm hoping to mount the camera to the rear hatch glass at the top of the glass which will put it behind the driver seat and out of my line of sight. It looks like the only way into the passenger compartment from the hatch area is through the grommeted tube. I could probably run individual wires through the tube then mod the camera cable to utilize those wires which might be the cleanest way to go. I've been poking around the chassis with a scope and any direction is a dead end due to the gussets and other welded structural elements. I might just bring the cable out from the back end of the A pillar trim with a decent sized loop to accommodate the hatch opening and call it a day.

POST 4Original post

Ah! Now I gotcha. I thought you were trying to do a backup cam! That's my fault for lousy reading comprehension! So, how I did my rear dash cam, I just bought a second small one, and ran it off of the power that's already inside of the hatch, avoiding trying to run a cable all the way from the back to the front. I used a Viofo A119 mini 2, which is very discreet.

POST 5Original post

Thanks for the suggestion. That's a decent solution worth considering. I'm waiting for some replacement spring clips for the trim before I install the headliner. I'll be able to get a better sense of the possible cable routing.
