Backup Camera Installation a big Problem


Hey All....
Here is my first question for this forum.
I bought an Audiovox backup cam from BestBuy for about $300. It has a mirror display and a camera mounted on the back bumper near the plate. I have just about everything figured out except where and how to run the cam cable. I have searched all day looking for some of you that have done something like this. There is good info out there but nothing showing how they got the cable from the back to inside of the cab and have it look good. I tried to get the backseat out with zero luck. (I have a supercrew cab)
Anyone know how to route the cable?
TNX....

maybe this will help you. If you remove the platic floor panel that you step on to get inside the rear (not the running boards) of the truck their will be a little hole their that will allow you to run the cable outside of the truck to the back. Let me know if this helps you.

Thanks much pmason718.
Is this the small plastic panel passenger side rear?
Is it plugged or do I need to drill?
This is greatly appreciated!
TNX.

the small plastic piece on the floor inside the door. pull that up. there will be a rubber grommet. all you need to do is pull that out (cut a hole in it, run the cable through) and once you have it all set up, put some silicone around the wire where it goes through the grommet and you are good to go.

edit: i know there is a grommet on the drivers side rear for sure because i run my CB antenna cable through it

Thats what Id of told him.

Ya thats by far the best spot to run the wires through. Now do it on the Driver side because it will be right by the reverse wire. (Black/Pink low in the DKP)
