Wiring for rear facing dash cam

[Vincent907]

Greetings,

I just purchased the Viofo A129 2-ch while waiting for the Dongar Pro to arrive. I am wondering for people who wire their rear facing cam, do you need to take the A pillar off? This is the 1st time DIY dash cam myself and since it's brand new I want to make sure I don't break anything the 1st day.

No. You can run the cable in the ceiling edge around the whole vehicle. Very easy to do.

I have a Vantrue camera that I plan to install with a rear camera, and also waiting for my Dongar Pro to arrive in a couple days. I saw one post express a concern that running the rear camera wire around the edge of the headliner might interfere with the side curtain airbags if ever needed. I've somewhat discounted that in that if I'm just tucking the wire and not zipping or securing, that the wire will blow out with the airbag and not restrict it. Thoughts?

Interfering the airbag is my concern as well. I have not found any videos on YT that shows the location of the airbags/wiring harness in the headliner so I can't say if just tucking the dashcam cable in the headliner will/will not affect the airbags.
