That’s the issue, I can see in the license plate light hole and the hole behind the license plate. But where do I go from there?
I can run my hand by the tail light but that’s in a different channel than the bumper.
I put the spoiler up and can see when I shine a light in the center hole behind the plate, but ca t Figure out how to get into the trunk.

I'm planning to get your brake harness from this car on Sunday. The bumper is off and the trunk has been stripped out. Poke the grommet enough to push a fairly rigid wire in or out, then feed your camera wire.?

Ok thank you, I’m not seeing where that in on my car. I’m out and on my phone. Will look on the computer this evening

Side note question, I bought a wireless backup camera kit and I couldn’t get power to the receiver. Crutchfield said I have to tap into the Blue/Black reverse light wire and connect to the radio.
Anyone know where this wire is located up front. They said possibly behind the drivers side kick panel.
Just curious if anyone knows where the reverse wire is located?

Would that be a reverse light wire? Check the leads to the bulbs in the white lenses for a match......I am just guessing at the wiring ...but power to the reverse lights means you are in reverse and trigger the camera simultaneously.

Yes I’m already tapped into the reverse wire in the taillight with the wireless transmitter. Just can’t find the reverse wires in the front to hook up the receiver to.
Still have to wire the camera to the transmitter.

unfortunately this means wiring diagrams....and then finding the wire. I struggle with this myself

I think I’m ditching the wireless connection way. The receiver stopped working, I have to run the video/reverse cable up to the radio.
