Cheers, Leon
There's no such thing as a wrong turn... it's just the scenic route!

Once you get your chosen wire up to the roof bars (if you have them) you can remove the front cover and run your wire under the cover before replacing it and the whole wire run is virtually impossible to see.

On our way back to Qld after getting our ORS draws and water tank installed the other week or so we had a ummmm... run-in with a bloody big pole and dented my girl real bad!!.
Just got "The Pearl" back from the panel shop after this altercation today... I was talikng to my lady - watching the camera backing up to get onto a ferry and missed the pole in the blind spot of the reversing camera/spare wheel... "not happy Jan!!"
What I did do though because of how it happened was to have the camera removed from the number plate area up to the top of my door - I also installed an aftermarket fibreglass "dust" spoiler for the back door AND had reverse sensors added to my new rear bar!
Won't happen again - lesson learnt!
Here is the damage... urgh!

OUCH !!! YMUS, as they say shit happens but still that sickening feel when you hear and feel the crunch and more pissed when you do it yourself eh.. Luckily no dented metal panels by the look of it, the rear light while broken seems to be in its original position ??....My mate works for insurance company and does the claims. Reckons the claims for owners reversing into things them selves since these rear view cameras have come out has more then doubled. People forgetting to check the spots the camera or sensors dont pick up. Annoying but at least you have it back nice and new now, as you said lesson learnt although an expensive one, at least no one was hurt just a bit of pride but hey it happens to all of us at some stage...(Ive done it myself with our brand new commodore at the time, while not as bad still pissed me off I did it lol)......Cheers SteveFace lift 150 Prado V6 auto.

There's a good learning point here: just because you have a camera don't forget to use the mirrors and, if in doubt, get the missus to stand between the car and the obstacle.Dave

Steve and fellas
Gotta say there was a dented panel or two so they had to remove my brand new 3draw ORS setup as well as all the panels behind were dented...bugger!
ANYWAY she's back I've DEFINATELY learnt my lesson and the new system works a treat.
"Very Happy Jan"!!!
Will do some pics tomorrow... as we were cutting templates etc. to "wrap" every panel of the car today!!
