The rear cam wire is the same connector as the front cam one. I haven't checked where the pre-wired connector is. It should be a simple plug-in as well.

 

You could put anywhere you want. The cable is long enough to play around. I just want to put the Cam Lens close to the center of the windshield.
When I tried to put it on passenger side, I checked the image view, the driver side view is not wide enough where it may miss something from the driver side if someone approaches the car very closely.
So I put the Lens in center.

 

That's what pre-wiring does. I read through the 992 dash cam installation guide without pre-wiring, that guide instructs how to bridging these 3 pins to fuse box.
Now pre-wiring option connects them, when installing OEM dash cam, it's a plug-in work, no need wiring work anymore.

 

Thanks for the great write-up and info. I just placed my order to Suncoast. I am not sure if the price is for both front and back (coupe version) or I need another one for the back.

 

I just compared the camera wiring diagram to the harness

The prewired female connector connections in the overhead console are

Red/White is 12v hot all the time
Brown is Ground
Black is switched 12v

The camera harness connections are

Red 12v all the time
Black is Ground
Green is switched 12v

These connections don't matter if you are simply connecting a Porsche camera to the prewired plug.

If you plan on making your own harness you need to confirm these "pinouts".

Utilizing this connector eliminates the need for a mirror tap and will provide a dedicated fuse for your camera and / or radar detector.

 

If your VIN has pre-wiring option, they will send both frond and rear cam in one box.
The OEM product contains two cams in one retail box (For pre-wiring option). Without pre-wiring option, the retail box only has one front cam.
Event though the pre-wried version has rear cam inside, I didn't see price difference.

 

Great! That's a real tech knowledge.
I assume the pre-wiring has put the dedicated fuse on?
I did check the fuse box on the driver side, it's so hard for me to understand these fuse slots.

 

It has the Pre-Wiring option. I send them my VIN and it should show the option. It is strange that with pre-wire option, they will include 2 cameras but w/o that option, only one camera. Maybe just tell them that you have the pre-wire option ordered (no vin yet, advanced order) so that they will provide 2 cameras.

 

There might be cable differences as well.
With pre-wiring option, it has only two male connector wires.
Without pre-wiring, the kit may include the additional wiring pieces (and fuses) which allow you to bridging the power to fuse box.

 

Where did you order the harness from?

 

Order this part number from any Porsche dealer it’s OEM I have a cabriolet and there is much less space in the overhead lighting console since the latch for the top uses much of the space I cut off the connect from the harness and made my own harness to feed my radar detector and an aftermarket dash cam

 

Great, thanks. I have a Targa, so I imagine it will be a similar situation.

 

Here’s the pin outs for the male and female plug

The plug on the harness is as follows green is ignition switched 12v and black is ground

 

Thanks! This is great.
Too bad we have to pay $30 to get a connector and a few pigtails that is worth about $0.25.

 

Does anyone know where the pre-wired connection for the back camera on a '23 Panamera is located? We can't find it anywhere. A picture would be really nice. Thanks.
