Default Ideas to run front camera wire into cabin?

I am going to attempt a front camera install. Any suggestions on how to get the wire inside the car would be much appreciated.

My GT3 is PDK, so I went through the hole where the clutch master would have been for a manual transmission.

There are plenty of You Tube vids on how to do this. Run wires along the headliner and A pillar. Use Add a Fuse to tap into fuse box. Or, if you have passenger side socket, you can plug your camera cigarette power adapter there.

Genuine question… why would you put a camera at the front bumper? You can easily put a dash cam behind the front mirror and easily connect to the fuse box.

I have the NMAutomotive wireless android auto system installed and it has provisions for a front camera. I need to take my front bumper off to repair the ambient temp sensor. I figure I might as well install a camera when I am in there to help with parking. I have the Aerokit Cup and the front splitter is rather low to the ground. I want to avoid any problems with the cement parking blocks commonly found in public parking places.

This was already installed when I bought the car and works really well. Not sure how it all went in but you could give them a call. Have a great weekend!

I ended up gingerly putting a hole in the rubber where the front main harness comes through. Worked like a charm!
