I can't find anyway through unless I take the rear bumper fascia off...which I don't want to do. I would rather drill a hole, if I have to, behind the license plate. Please let me know how you did yours. I'm also thinking about connecting the camera to a switch so that I can use it anytime without being in reverse. Please advise.
Thanks,
Randy
I drilled a small hole to run the wire through. I don't use it anymore. It worked great for about 2 months until the camera got water in it and stopped working. You might want to put some silicone or some type of sealer on the back of the camera where the wire goes in. I think that's how the water got in. I hope you have better luck with it then I did.
