Mk5 routing backup camera video feed cable

Postby npjrogers » Sun Apr 25, 2021 1:08 pm

Just bought a backup cam for our Horizons campervan which is very similar to an AS Duetto. It connects to the reversing light live at the rear. The video feed cable needs to be routed forward to the radio dashboard area. Has anyone found an easy and direct route? Thanks for any ideas..

All depends on body type and position of the camera if I was going to fit it in the rear bumper I’d run it underneath and come in the front on the bulkhead.but if on the roof depends on inside build.

I thought of running it between the roof lining (carpet) and down the a pillar. By mounting high up it can be araldited to the fibreglass without making fixing holes.

Yes if you only have to pull the carpet down and re stick it that would work saves removing furniture and trim panels.
