Hi all, I’m fitting a reversing cam on my 2015 dmax eigar double cab. It is one of the monitors which replaces your rear view mirror. What I’m wanting to know is how do you get the cable which goes to the monitor from the camera inside the cab? Can’t find any bungs or anything to get in to the inside of the cab from the outside.
Cheers

When I put one on mine I ran it through a vent that’s on the cab frame between the body and the back of the cab. Think it’s somewhere level with the door handle for the back door.

cheers! How do you get to the other side of the vent on the inside of the cab though?

Pop the plastic trims on the bottom of the door sills off. That should let you then pull the rubber door seal away from the frame. You should then be able to pop the panelling off to get access to the vent.

It’s a bit of a fiddle but you can run cables quite easily from the back to the front of the cab along the bottoms of the doors.

I can get a picture of it if it helps?
