Now go back to the hatch area and remove the plastic trim from around the outside of the hatch (passenger side) so that you can tuck the cable inside of this cover.

You need to snake the wire into the area where the hatch lock is.

I don't have a good step by step set of pictures of this since it was dark and I was alone while doing this. So I'm going to just put three pictures in this spot that should show what your up against.

Notice the small hole drilled into the hatch itself with the cable coming thru. Thus kept the cable from being pinched like it would of been if I ran it through from the factory opening. I think this is the better method since it will make the cable last longer.

The camera plugs into the harness itself very close to the camera so if you need to you can remove it without cutting anything in the future.
