Cable Routing

• Remove the clamp in the rubber grommet and carefully pull the rubber grommet from the mounting in the car body and trunk lid.

• Remove the holders for the rubber grommet in the car body and trunk lid. They are secured by four surrounding catches.

• Tape around the hole edges in the car body and on the trunk lid to avoid damaging the cable harness when working with it. Apply several layers of tape.

• Secure the cable harness from the camera using a cable tie (1) in the usual cable tie for the cable harness (2).

• Insert the cable into the hole in the trunk lid and the rubber grommet's holder.

• Apply three pieces of butyl tape to the trunk lids right end as shown in the illustration.

• Place the cable harness from the camera inside the contact strip to the rear window's heating elements.
• Secure the cable harness with pieces of butyl tape.
• Clamp the cable harness where is crosses the existing cable harness, use a cable tie from the kit.

• In previous installation kits the receptacle housings are around the connector on the section of cable that is not equipped with chafe protection. Carefully poke up the four mounting brackets and remove the receptacle housings from the connector.
  NOTE:

  Handle the receptacle housings with care, they are fragile.

• Insert a piece of wire through the rubber grommet.
• Tape the connector at the wire securely. Also, position the wire slightly out on the cable so that the connector does not take all the strain when the cable is pulled through. Now tape the wire at the connector and cable.

• Carefully pull the connector through with the cable.
• Remove the tape and wire.

• Insert the cable harness through the holder to the rubber grommet and the hole at the upper edge of the trunk lid opening.

• Take the receptacle housing section of the connector with the two metal strips from the kit.
• Carefully place the connector in the receptacle housing section with the round section (1) of the connector aligned in the corresponding cut-out (1) in the receptacle housing section. The upturned section (2) of the connector must also be aligned in the corresponding cut-out in the receptacle housing section.

• Carefully place the other receptacle housing section on the connector. The upturned section (2) of the connector must be aligned in the corresponding cut-out in the receptacle housing section.
• Press the receptacle housings and connector together until the four catches engage.

• Remove the tape from around the hole edges in the body and trunk lid.
• Secure the rubber grommet's holders in both ends of the rubber grommet.

• Snap the clamp into place again around the rubber grommet with the lug (1) aligned in the hole (2).
• Do the same with the other clamp.

• Press the rubber grommet into the car body at both ends.

• Close the trunk lid and check that the rubber grommet is correctly positioned, it should be at the bottom of the trunk lids frame.

• Route the cable harness to the left towards the D pillar.
• Clamp above the ceiling panel at the existing cable harness using two cable ties.
• Route at the D pillar along the existing cable harness to the front edge of the fuse holder.
• Secure using three cable ties.

• Continue to route the cable harness along the existing cable harness, under the rail, and forward between the brackets to the rail and wheel housing.
• Secure at the existing cable harness using two cable ties.
