I was wrong and had been misled. Thanks to the two posters that replied - my bad - thus far the only thing I had read was that it was just to the fuse box. Thanks much for correcting this.

What everyone needs to understand is that when you pay for the small $130 pre-wire option there is NO wire that is ran into the car front and back just some things done for the fuse box.
This is why the dealer installation cost as much because they need to run the cables to the front or front/back. So this means removing all the panels - passing the wires to front or front/back and install the cameras... 2-3 hours at 300$ - $350 / hour + the cost of the camera and this is why the overall cost + hardware is ~$1600-$2000

Yes, very easily for a front camera. The Porsche prewiring basically provides switched, constant 12v and ground in one harness. The pinouts for the Porsche harness, and where to buy the connector with wires to hook up to your dashcam is on another thread on here if you search. You would probably have to run your own wiring for a rear dashcam if you want one...I doubt you would be able to get the Porsche wiring to work for connecting a front and rear dashcam.
