This is a 2 camera system that records to 1 unit, recording both to 1 micro sd card.
This is the way I installed it.
I started by removing the other camera system, this facilitated in removing the passenger side A pillar cover, B pillar cover and loosen the rear arch cover this allows the headlining to be accessed to route cables.
I first put the camera and gps unit in rough position and started to route the cables.
Then with the headlining lose I routed the cables to the A pillar. Did same for rear camera. (if need be remove the sun blind and screws)
Routed cables down the A pillar as use the twist ties that held the camera cables
Took the end of the dashboard off
This also give access to the area above fusebox for routing to the glovebox.
Routed cables for the 12v power and the external emergency record button from the centre console area to the glovebox as well
Just thread the cables out the bottom of the console, route over the underside of the glovebox then through the same hole as other cables
Then tuck these cables behind the sides of the console
Just a case of putting all the trims back to how it was (just like I was never there).
Now to place the holder for the unit, I chose the fusebox cover as it's hidden but accessible.
To be able to close the glovebox the unit has to sit in the gap
This takes a bit of fiddling to be able to stick it to the fusebox cover
Once there I removed the unit to leave the bracket, and then using one of the screws supplied, secured it
I put the padding into the bracket then put the replaced the fusebox cover
Just a case of plugging everything in
Then securing the unit into the bracket and put the excess wires back into the fuse area
The last part is to tie wrap the 12v sockets to stop the vibrating apart
Put the emergency record button in place
Then put the trim back ensuring no cables will foul the handbrake mechanism stick the camera and gps to the screen and hide remaining cable.
Once done just check the camera positions and view from the screen on unit.
Look I was never here.
All done.
