Dash cam cable.

I have fitted a Aukey twin camera system in my 75, my problem is the cable to the rear camera is much too long, about three feet. I have hidden what I can under the headlining, but when I come to the rear n/s cover there is too much cable to refit the panel. Can I buy a generic usb cable instead?. Any advice welcome. Thanks, John.

Better to have too much as not enough, but why don’t you loop the excess cable down into the rear pillar. I’m sure if you pop the rear side trim off you will find a hole to pop it into.

Thanks for the reply, will the E.bay cable carry the same information between the cameras?. Thanks, John.

I managed to put the extra cable down a round hole which was behind the panel by the HRW connections. Thanks for the help. John.
