Backup camera
Got a backup camera for my X, does anybody have a recommendation for where to route the wires for it? The camera mounts at the top of the license plate, and I have a small flip down monitor that I'll be mounting near the rear view mirror. I know it's a huge pain to pull the headliner down, but I'm thinking I can pull up the edges a little bit and tuck it under. Thanks for any suggestions

I installed an OEM camera in my non nav G35X
It came with 4 wires.
If you look inside your trunk lid, you will see a female plug. Follow those wires to a connector above the driver's side wheel well in the rear fender.
2 wires for video are shielded.
You can splice those, run them through the back seat, under the carpet , up through the armrest .
I took out the IPOD plug because ipods are lame.
For the 2 power wires I spliced into my reverse bulb in my trunk lid.
It extends the life of the camera, only turning on when the car is in reverse.
Since I only use AUX to run my in car entertainment via bluetooth adapter (MP3, Spotify, Youtube ect) it's always in AUX anyways so the camera is always ready to go.
If you're listening to the radio, or the CD changer you have to press AUX to see the camera.

All cars came pre-wired from the factory.
You only need to extend the RCA's to your AUX input.
