Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a rear view camera to fit, and wonder if anyone can tell me the best route to get from engine bay to head unit with video cable? I have fitted the camera and powered the number plate light, but cant see an easy route to the interior of the car. Any advice appreciated.[&o]

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Has nobody fitted a rear view camera? Cant find any info on it.

POST 3Original post

Hi, found this but I don't think it really answers your question - looks like most of the modders out there use this type of mirror/back up camera display. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quKi48fYPk4 You might find some more information on Rennlist for your particular question. Best. J

POST 4Original post

When you fit one of the options to a 996 I think its the Fuel Consumption Unit that shows up on the rev counter and is controlled by the third stalk there are details on how to route the wiring from the engine compartment Your job would be similar. RichardH can give you details. I was going to fit this but have run out of money as Ive just had to replace the oil cooler Hope this helps

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys finally managed to find route through. Now camera only works when camera is selected, not automatically when reverse is selected. What a pain. Found on Rennlist a wire under drivers seat will power head unit, so will try that tomorrow.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
