JurassicBGTS Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) Looking at the routing for the dash cam power cable. I would normally run the cable across the top of the windscreen over the A pillar trim then down the edge of the door seal. However on the 981 the A pillar trim is so well attached at the top and quite hard plastic I don't think I can get the wire over the top of it. Can anyone advise where/how to route the power cable please? Edited September 27, 2021 by JurassicGTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mneil Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Worked on my 981 with no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems you have to leave it exposed over the top of the A pillar trim, whereas on all my other cars I could tuck it behind the trim over the top. What type of clips did you use to secure it over the trim? Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenman Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 I ran mine all the way across the top of the windscreen and down the A pillar adjacent to the windscreen, you then though have the same issue at the bottom of the A pillar as you run the cable across the top of the dash (pressed in a crevice but still visible). Take your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JurassicBGTS Posted September 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Just finished reading (well almost) the @Stuart21UK thread on this and will attempt going through the sun visor mounting area. Glad I didn't read his full thread before purchase it it may have put me off buying. Glad I am not near that OPC😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
