Default Dash Cam Wiring.

Want to install a Dash Can in my 19 XLT and curious to know how easy/difficult it is running the wires for both front and rear.

Very easy like 1/2 hour total. Run power under the headliner over to and down the passenger side pillar panel (remove it). It drops right down to the passenger side kickwell fuse panel. For the rear camera run it along the drivers side headliner and then the seam between panels to the back window. You can pull the overhead console off.

There is also
this this
that connects to the autodimming mirror. I haven't tried it myself but others on this forum have. This is the route I plan to go once I buy a cam.

I agree! I ran the excess down the door pillar between the front and rear passenger doors.
Just needed to tuck the wire over the headliner along the edge.

Easy. You can remove the A pillar trim with 2 screws. It's obvious where they are located. From there you just drop the cable down behind the dash.

Very easy with the brand I went with.
NO trims removal at all. Tucked all the way to the rear for the back camera.

That's what I use. Yes, it's a little pricey for what it is, but it's tidy and easy. The same justification I use for the Ronin oil drain.

I had no idea it was that simple. That's really the way to go. Then you don't have to tap into the fuse box and try to figure out which fuse locations to tap into.
