I think the OP may have the split tailgate so little harder to hide the cables I believe. This is mine with the one piece tailgate, although I have now fitted a thinkware one.

I made use of Daylight Saving tonight and started to investigate the rear camera mount... the split tailgate does make it a little more difficult, mainly with placement of the camera than anything else.

All finished, it ended up being a pretty easy install after all. The hardest part was feeding the rear camera cable through to the front.. and not have it showing anywhere... but a little time to make sure that when it was near an airbag it ran underneath and not over the top was well worth it.

So is that in the wiper zone - I have a dash cam on my rear window and did not put enough thought into it and it is outside the wiper zone. As a result in rain or when the rear window gets dirty the dash cam captures little and becomes useless. 07MY RRS TDV6

The camera itself is mounted on the plastic panel above the rear window but is adjustable for the view. Currently it would be approximately 50/50 in the wiper sweep but I am yet to fine tune the camera.

I fitted my rear cam to the actual rear window which just puts in the arc of the rear wiper, and get this view plus a ticket.
