A few things about the backup camera install were to make sure and leave plenty of slack in the wire going around the Engine Access Panel on the inside of the vehicle. That is the last place you want to run it tight. I had to re-run the wire there. You want to be able to "stuff" the wire "down into" the factory padding there and around the convertible top area.

Secondly, I did not want to make a hole in the bumper, so I ran the wire through a hole the license plate uses. That wire runs around the inside (or outside of car) behind the bumper and then back into the the trunk. Again, through a holes already there, not the drain holes but a "plastic plugged" hole. I did it in 2 parts because of the Mfr.'s wire length and crimped it in the trunk by the computer.

Sorry, no pics….too busy cursing at the time. These people that make this car must have little-bitty hands!

BTW, love the 'slim cam'! Mine is a little bulkier….the price was only $15 tho!

Here's a pic of the outback.
