Ok so I bought a Backup Camera and can't find how to run the wire through my z's trunk its an 03..can I access the license plate light wiring from inside the trunk? All I see is the trunk plate..

 

you apparently havent taken much apart inside the car.
theres grommet for all your external wires right in the middle.

 

look

 

your right about that... I saw that but its in the middle and the hold for the light is down and to the left...i guess i could try fishing it....just didn't know if there was another way...this could take awhile -__-

 

go buy some braided steal cable thats stiff enough to push through you can get 10' for $2 ive used it to run eveything from power wire to back up cam wires

 

I never could understand the rear back-up cam, in a Z? You do have mirrors, and know how they're used? But then again, I can't understand their use in ANY vehicle. I have one on my boat, buut it's slightly larger than a car or suv.

 

Thanks. That should do the trick

It's understandable, but when cars are parking so close to your car you want to make sure your not going to get a trailer hitch or license plate in your rear...yes mirrors help but they have blind spots and can only show so much. It's just a personal preference

 

Is there anything else you can understand having extra in the Z?. The car came ready to use and some people use it that way (100% stock)

 

its a convenience feature. my m35x has it and im puttiing one in my z because its very useful. dont be an a$$hole because somebodies not modding their car as you see fit.

 

Women need them because they have no depth perception and/or no understanding of how long their vehicle is and/or to lazy to turn around or use their mirrors.

 

fish it through with a wire hanger

 

Not trying to be an A$$, just don't see the use if you know how to drive and use common sense. I drove an H2 for 4 years without one and never hit anything. My neighnor has one on his Suburban and never even looks at it.

 

 

Just an update used wire to fish through (outside to in)....1000x easier when you take the license plate off so you can guide the wire while bending. Thanks!

You could as well have taken the trunk panel off. (The one that has the trunk light and the hatch lock). After that, running the wire is piece of cake. Then you can tap the reverse signal from there too

 

Good job. Whats up next?. Space shuttle?
