I'm just about to order a F&R dashcam package. It comes with a 6m cable for the rear camera as standard but also offers longer cables of 8m or 10m (mid-size SUV or large SUV).

What length cable have others used for the rear camera? I'm also wondering if I need to allow extra cable to route away from the DAB antenna? 🤔

Hi,

It depends on the routing you chose.

I bought FitcamX F&R dash cams pack. I struggled to route the cable from front dash cam down to door sills and once trying to route up along the rear wheel arch, I understood It would be way too short. 🙄

I had then to remove the cable up to the top of A-pillar to route it along the roof and use aluminium tape to avoid any interference on the curtain airbag (if needed). I assume it was a 5m-long wire.

Lesson learnt: I should have used masking tape to fix it temporarily and assess easily the best way to route it. I would have saved time.

It would have been no problem with a 8m-long wire to route it along the door sills.
