Rear camera cable length

[Herbie]

Has anybody installed a dual dashcam system in a 4RX? Apparently it comes with a 6m cable that connects the front cam to the back cam. Cable route will probably be from front cam at passenger side of rear-view mirror, along the headlining to the A-pillar and down to floor level where it will run under the scuff plates, over the rear wheel arch and maybe up the C/D-pillar and to the top of the rear screen. The point is - will 6m be long enough or do I need a longer cable?

Should be ample, 6m is 20 feet.  Have a dry run with a piece of string.

That's a great idea Steve - - but just as long as Herbs realises that string (even very high quality string or silk) still won't work nearly as well as the specced cable!
