Default How to thread cable from boot to front?

I'm trying to fit a rear camera, and am looking for a way of threading the cable from the trunk to the cabin. I have removed the boot interior and the spare wheel, but can't work out how to get from there to the cabin. Any tips for which panel(s) I need to remove from behind the seats?

If you look behind the seat there should be two hook looking things. Theres a small tab on each one which if you pop open should contain a screw. Take those out and the panel should pop out. (i dont remember there being other screws but i could be wrong). If you are trying to go through the passenger side that should all that you need to do.

Yeah should be the same. Theres just a lot more in the way. I'd recommend a clothes hanger to fish the cable through since trying to do it by hand is just a pain in the butt.

Do a search on how to fix the cigarette lighter. It has diy on removing those panels on drivers side (LHD).

It only shows how to remove them enough to get your hands back there, not remove panels entirely, but thats all you need to fish a wire.

Can anyone recommend a splice connector for connecting the cable from the reversing cam to the reversing light? I don't know what gauge that cable is, so have no idea what sort of splice connector to go for
