7.2 Laying cables
A
NOTICE!
Before drilling any holes, ensure that no electrical cables or other parts of the
vehicle can be damaged by drilling, sawing and filing.
I
NOTE
 As far as possible, use original ducts for laying the cables, or other suitable
options such as panelling edges, ventilation grilles or dummy plugs. If there
is no rubber plug, produce a suitable hole with a diameter of around 13 mm
and insert a cable bushing sleeve.
 Cables and connections that are not properly installed will cause malfunc-
tions or damage to components. Correct installation of cables and connec-
tions ensures lasting and trouble-free operation of the retrofitted
components.
Therefore, please observe the following instructions:
 Wherever possible, lay cables inside the vehicle, as they are better protected there
than outside.
If you do need to lay a cable outside the vehicle, ensure that it is well fastened (use
additional cable ties, insulating tape etc.).
 To prevent damage to the cables when laying them, ensure that they are far enough
away from hot or moving vehicle components (exhaust pipes, drive shafts, light sys-
tems, fans, heaters, etc.).
 Wrap good-quality insulating tape around the plug connections of the connecting
cables and every connection on a cable (including inside the vehicle) to ensure no
water can penetrate them (fig. 5 B, page 5). The most suitable tape for this is self-
vulcanising tape, e.g. made by 3M.
 When laying the cables, make sure:
– they are not kinked or twisted
– they do not rub on edges
– they are not laid in sharp-edged ducts without protection (fig. 2, page 3).
 Attach the cables securely in the vehicle with cable binders, insulating tape or by glue-
ing them to prevent them from being tripped over.
 Protect every through-hole made in the outer skin of the bodywork against water
penetration, for example by using a cable with a sealant and by spraying the cable and
the cable sleeve with sealant.
I
NOTE
 Only start sealing through-holes when you have completed all installation
work on the camera and have laid the required cable lengths.
 Pull the socket connector of the camera cable through the cable bushing
sleeve before inserting the sleeve in the bodywork.
