Backup Camera Wiring
First time poster. These blogs have been very helpful in getting my new Sony 770bt installed in my 1996 Corvette Convertible. Now I need to wire up the backup camera but can't figure out how to get the wires to the rear of the car. The rear cargo area seems to be solid without any wiring paths. Anyone done this already? Any help would be appreciated.

What I did on my 90 Vert is drilled a small hole in the rear storage compartment and used a grommet to protect the wire(s) and then under the carpet to the front. The other alternative is to run it uynderneath from the rear to the front engine compartment, and you should be able to easily fish it though one of the existing firwall grommets, like the one just below the brake booster near the battery. Use a coat hanger stiff wire.

Thanks
I figured it out. The antennae cable goes through the cargo wall behind the drivers seat. I removed the tail light, drilled a hole just above where the antennae wire goes through, fed the wire through them reached in through the tail light hole and pulled the wires to the back of the car.
Thanks for the responses.
