Subject:Re: Rearview Camera Cable Routing

Hi All,

Well, my solution involved Dawn dish soap.    I lubed the electrical A/C
bundle shield with the dish soap,
taped up the plug tip and swabbed some dish soap on it as well and fairly
easily passed it through the
opening between the engine compartment and the bed area underneath the
drivers side cabinet.   Glad
I didn't have to drill another hole.    I tie wrapped the engine side to
the fuel rail (not real tight) and left it
for now.   I want to test it again to make sure the video feed is still
good and not mangled.   The remaining
other end of the cable is just sitting tie wrapped at the ceiling.   I'll
route that after I've checked the video
again.

Thanks everyone for your valuable input!
