I purchased a Wolfbox rear view camera for my 2005 Continental GT. I installed the rearview camera at the top of the rear window in the middle, and now need to run a cable (USB C hardwire kit) from the rearview mirror to the battery and also a 24 awg wire from the camera to the rear reverse light. I was trying to go from the back right panel where the airbag is into the trunk, but can't seem to find an opening gap there. I also tried to go from the right of the rear right seatbelt at the top into the trunk but no luck there either. I started to remove panels in the trunk and that is a work in process. Would anyone have a suggestion on how to get a cable into the trunk? I considered running the power off of the fusebox in the front of the car, but since I need to run the one wire to the brake wire so that the rear backup triggers when I go into reverse. Any suggestions, your help is appreciated and thank you in advance.

 

There are probably better ways which will hopefully be offered by others, but perhaps you could route the wires from the camera to the opening between the rear seats that provide access to the trunk for opening it manually? If you pull down the center armrest there's an access panel to the trunk.

 

Thanks, I considered that and was hoping that there was some way to route the wires without removing the seats to get to a small hole I can see from a couple of the pictures Johnny had posted of his restoration. The trick would be concealing the wire down to that spot and around the seat. I am hoping I am just missing a hole somewhere to route the wires that someone is aware of.


Update, I figured out where to route the wire. I will post pictures and details later in case anyone else has needs to do the same. I will post once I finish with pictures.

 

To set up my Apple car play unit that sits on the center speaker on my dash. The power for the car play unit comes from a usb-c to 12v connector that came with the the unit. The cable is routed to a 12v splitter just below the passenger seat.

I placed the wire for the back up camera under the trunk carpet through the ski flap. I removed the passenger side reverse light and connected the wire to turn on the back up camera when I put the car into reverse. The back up camera is positioned just in front of the rear license plate. It also records when the car is running on the same Apple car play unit. That same unit also has a front camera.

all the wires are hidden.
