Thinkware F770 2-Channel Dash Cam Install

Hello, I have a 2012 G37x sedan and am planning on installing a 2 channel (front & rear) dash cam. I need to run a cable from the front camera to the rear camera, so I'm wondering if you might have any suggestions of which way I can route the cable so that it's hidden and doesn't interfere with any side airbags.

Thanks!

Got everything installed over the weekend. Unfortunately didn't take any photos during the installation, but if anyone does have questions down the road feel free to ask. Cheers!

Very easy to install both the front and rear cameras

Sample vid of the recordings? How do you like the camera?

I installed my blackvue and had to run the wires behind the molding of the side airbags.

How did you end up doing it?

So far I've been very happy with the camera in regards to quality of the video, I might have to make some slight adjustments to the rear camera settings. The speed/red light camera notification is a handy feature to have as it announces within how many meters and what the posted speed limit is, but I've noticed in some areas the announced speed limit is incorrect. The forward collision warning is annoying, so I've decreased sensitivity but might even turn it off entirely.

Here's a video combining dark and daytime driving, it will switch between front and rear clips to give you an idea.

As for the installation I ran all the wires on the drivers side, pulled down the weather stripping from the front and rear doors, removed the kick panel to access the fuse box. Wires were run along the headliner, down the a-pillar for the hardwiring cable and the rear cable behind the molding of the side airbags.
