How did you get the video cable back into the car? Did you have to drill a hole behind the license plate or was there a hole there already?

I was thinking of hooking up one of these once I get my IVA-W200 installed

one of the licence plate mounting holes (any unused ones?). Instead of drilling a big hole in the metal to pass the RCA plug through, cut the wire and rejoin it. It's only coax cable.

buy a new connector to put on or take the camera apart and see if you can disconnect the wire from the camera side. I was not aware there were unused holes in the trunk for the license plate. I figured there were no holes since they used that plastic backing to mount the plate.

The plastic backing is held place w/ a few screws and some adhesive.

Remove screws and pull hard.

...then the hole you would have to make would be smaller.
