Questions you thought were too dumb to ask

Also have Blackview installed front & rear, and cloud connected. Hardly visible if fitted correctly.

The built in cameras are fully integrated into CANBUS, and digital, with no way of recording images.

Where did you mount the camera on the rear?

I've got my rear camera located at the top center of the rear window, with the cable tucked into the roof liner along the passenger side up to the front center of the car, also within the roofliner, where it then connects to the front camera, which is situated immediately adjacent to the rear-view mirror. Both cameras are unobtrusive, and it's already paid for itself after getting rear-ended while at a stop-light this past fall.

Thanks. This makes sense for the S6 with the fixed rear window. I'm curious about the S7 where the window moves with the rear hatch. I wonder if there's enough play with the wiring or whether the camera needs to be mounted to the shelf.

Rear camera can be mounted in the same location as OlyS6 described. Cable is more than plenty long. All depends how neat you want to have it installed and how much work you willing to put into installation. I run my cable under roofliner, down behind D pillar and up thru hatch hinge (inside the hinge cover). It looks as stealthy as possible but it was pretty involved and time consuming.

I made a bracket for the BlackVue rear camera on my A7. Small hook grabs the headliner.

is there any difference from the RS7 turbo back exhaust and the S7 exhaust? i came across a good deal on a miltek turbo back but it came off a RS7

On the 7, it’s actually quite easy to tuck the cable up the hatch arm, behind the trim, and tuck around the window frame so it’s hidden. Cable is more than long enough, and with plenty of excess tucked down into the rear quarter, there is no interference with opening/closing the hatch.

I’ve not mounted the cam directly to the glass, as it was interfering with my digital radio (aerial is integrated into rear window heater). It’s mounted top central, but on the surrounding trim, not glass.
