Sometime ago I fitted a dash cam to our 955 Cayenne turbo, I'm now planning to upgrade this and install a rear camera as well. The problem is this - how do I run the power cable and link cable to the rear. Any info welcome the trim seems largely fixed with plastic clips and I don't want to start trying to remove things if its either unnecessary or the clips are going to break.

Hi Tony
I installed a Viofo dual dash cam in my 955 Turbo S
Front camera connects to the Switched and permeant battery supply in the dash fusebox. The rear camera connects to the front camera.
I ran the cable from the camera under the headliner using trim tools and along the N/S pulling the door seals at the top away a bit and passing it behind the seatbelt bits on the B post. That's the easy bit!
When I got to the rear I ended up pulling down the rear panel of the roof liner and squeezing my hand and getting the cable into the route with the boot gas struts. Had to take apart all the plastic on the hinge side and feed the cable through. It then had to run down the N/S of the tailgate following the rest of the loom and enters the lower section after the glass. Had to make a small cut in the rubber bung and seal back up. Then removed the inner trim and ran it back up to the top of the tailgate. Due to the glass opening I had to leave a loop which can't been seen when the glass is closed and you open the tailgate. I hate messy wires showing. I have found some pictures on my phone and here is a link to them. Hope this helps
