So thought I would throw this out there. I know that there have been a few threads on installing the camera that is more focused on location, and a couple guys that have shown where to grab the reverse wire for triggering the camera. But what I haven't seen is how people are running the wiring?
How is everyone running the camera wiring from the inside?
I did the install with the camera on the upper tailgate. I loosened the latch mechanism and then routed the wires in through the gap that was present, enlarging one corner to allow for the wire to easily slip in there, then buttoned everything back up. I also installed a couple rivnutz to allow for easier installation.
I will run the wire around the glass and through the grommet with the rest of the wiring to get under the headliner but from there, where should I go? there is a power wire there to grab power from the reverse lights, so I will likely have to run a LONGER wire extension to grab that power, but that shouldn't be too hard with everything else.

Here is the headunit installed, JOYING Auto 7" universal, with their AHD backup camera.
