Just ordered one of these.

Just wondering if anyone else here had hooked one up. If so, how did you route the wires?

Do you have to drill a hole behind the license plate to run the wires through, or is there already a hole there you can use?

I think it would look pretty ghetto to have the wires running down and to see them hanging under the license plate, so I assume you have to run them through the body somehow so you can't see them.

Also, I know you normally hook these up to the reverse light wire so they just come on when you put your car in reverse.

Anything stopping you from just running it to a normal 12v wire that is on all the time? Then you could just switch to it whenever you want, even when you are driving down the road.

You can probably run wires through where the license plate light bulb goes. Won't look as good as running from behind it, but better than going under the car.

Should be fine but I would consider going to an accessory or ignition wire if you dont want to use the reverse lights. If you goto 12volt constant the camera could stay on even with the car off which is fine unless you accidently leave the switch on and your battery dies. Just my .02

He could add a light that indicates the camera is on so he wont forget to turn off the camera.

I drilled a hole through the bumper cover, behind the plate. Then wrapped it in loom and up through a grommet in the t-top hole. Pretty clean. I wish i had bought the one you have, but i already had this one that was on a truck i used to own. I did the "no no" and drilled a hole in my plate. It hooks up to a rear view mirror display.

Should be here in a couple days so I will do an update when I receive it.

I almost bought the Kenwood CCD2000, since my deck is a Kenwood, but this license plate thing looks a lot more stealth. Shouldn't be too noticeable.
