Xpost: Anybody running a backup camera with their AVIC-D3 or any other video unit?
How did you get the video cable back into the car? Did you have to drill a hole behind the license plate or was there a hole there already?
I was thinking of hooking up one of these once I get my IVA-W200 installed

Just a crazy thought ... how about running the cable through ...
one of the licence plate mounting holes (any unused ones?). Instead of drilling a big hole in the metal to pass the RCA plug through, cut the wire and rejoin it. It's only coax cable.

If you did that you would either have to...
buy a new connector to put on or take the camera apart and see if you can disconnect the wire from the camera side. I was not aware there were unused holes in the trunk for the license plate. I figured there were no holes since they used that plastic backing to mount the plate.

IIRC, there's an existing cutout already in the trunk behind the plastic backing.
The plastic backing is held place w/ a few screws and some adhesive.
Remove screws and pull hard.
