Hey guys,
I bought a digital rear view mirrow a few days ago and want to install it this weekend. It has two camera's, one looking to the front, directly integrated in the mirror and one wired to a camera that can be put anywhere else in the rear of the car. It also has a GPS tracking function with an additional sensor and can record videos from both camera's, saved to a SD card.
If anyone else is interested, it was this model (it looks great live, I will take some pictures and update the thread):

What would be the best place to guide the wires to those points (and how to remove the pillars/headlining?):
a.) from the mirror to the 12V cigarette lighter port
b.) from the mirror to the dashboard (for the GPS sensor)
c.) from the mirror to the rear end of the car. There would be three possible positions I think. One would be inside the car (already better view than the OEM mirror, tested it yesterday), mounting the camera directly to the small inner rear window. The other position would be inside the engine room just right behind the window. Third position would be the original reverse camera location in the bumper (best view, but most pain to wire everything).
For the two positions in the back I have already seen that the OEM loom has some grommets, (2x LHS, 1x RHS) from the engine room to the interior. I would prefer the one on the RHS.
I have special plastic tools to remove the interior trim, but it's the first time on the Evora so some guidance would be very appreciated 🙂
Thanks,
Marius
