Good morning. I have a (new to me) 2019 Tahoe. I am trying to figure out if there is an easier way to run a cable to the rear hatch for a rear ‘Dash’ camera. Currently I have the front camera hard wired (BlackVue 900X-2ch) and installed just below the rear view mirror. I need to run a cable from the front camera to the rear hatch to communicate with a camera I want to install there.
Currently my only choice is to run the cable along the perimeter of the roof by removing the plastic pillar covers and tucking the cable under the ceiling cover.
My question is if there is a channel/conduit I can access from the front overhead control panel (perhaps for the rear hatch control) to run the cable. I have looked online for wiring diagrams, videos and searched this forum but, thus far, have come up empty.

Thanks for any assistance.
Mike

 

imo the best route would be down thru the a-pillar out the firewall near the hood release cable...down to the frame rail and up to the tailgate.

 

Mike, how are you making out with this? I'm about to tackle this myself on a 2021 Tahoe with same BlackVue 2-ch. I found a video that addresses this on a dashcam store site here in Texas, although I don't think it's a Tahoe that they use for the demonstration. Starting at about the 12 minute mark is where they show running the coaxial to the rear camera down the passenger side. What I'm not clear on is making the transition from the gasket after the back door, and then getting the coax to the conduit to make the transition from inside the vehicle to inside the tailgate. They just reference "under the trim pieces." I'm going to go poke around out there tomorrow.

Did you opt to have your cameras run only when the car is on, or are you using a Power Magic Pro or some other device to keep the cameras active when the car is parked?

Here's the video, if you're interested: https://www.thedashcamstore.com/blac...wer-magic-pro/

I just picked up the Tahoe 2 weeks ago today, so moving slowly on things, but determined to get this done! If you've already completed yours, please share what you found to be the solution for running the rear camera coax, and any advice you may have.

Safe travels, friend.
