Default How to run cable from boot to front dash board

Can anyone help me?

I am installing a reverse parking sensor. It has a display so I need to run the cable from the boot to the front. How do cables usually run? Does anyone has a picture ?

Many thanks.

You can run it through the side of the car, on the bottom.

Do it along the side of the car inside. Where the "walls" of the car meet the floor carpet, you can pull out the plastic trim slightly and tuck the cable underneath. You may need to unscrew the door thresholds to get the cable under those. Be careful not to drive the screws into the cable when you put them back on.

Like everyone has said, just run the cable through the sides. Or you can strip your whole car, it shouldn't take that long.... It only took me 2 hours to take all my seats, plastic trims and carpet out last week[&:]
