Steve.
The cables to the camera run on the passenger side through the under door trim then into the panels behind the passenger area. They exit the rear quarter panel via an existing grommet about under where the jack is. From there they snake around in split PVC conduit to the camera. I used heat shrink sleeving over the camera video & power plug connectors.
From the passenger quarter panel you can "snake" cables up the front window pillars & use the holes behind the trim & for the grab handle mounting to aid access. From there, it is a bit more difficult to pick up access to the roof channel that gives access to the sub
tank gauge & map light in the centre or the front of the roof section. The mirror also mounts to this on the GXL.
I also run cables through the chassis rails - the heavy duty cables for auxillary power plus the diff breather pipes.
I am an Electrician so running concealed cables is the norm for me. I use a "snake" - a spring steel thing 10 metres long, normally used for getting cables through electrical conduits. A bit of Yellow Tounge - the plastic strip found in Chipboard flooring is also good. So is a long & not too thick coat hanger.
PS, the
HF radio causes all sorts of interference to the camera / screen. Just as
well that it is not some ones TV!! The HF also causes the LED indicators to flash on voice peaks.
Hope this helps.
