Wireless rear cameras?
Did you run new cables or use the old ones?

Wireless rear cameras?
Hi Scott,
I used the old ones. They looked pretty good and I didnt see any advantage to replacing them. If yours are getting stiff or cracking you might want to, but its not a real critical cable AFAIK. /Joe '87 PT40 San Francisco --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Scott Forman" <sforman@...> wrote: > > Did you run new cables or use the old ones? > > Scott Forman > 86 PT38 > Memphis > > --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, Joe Garner > wrote: > > > > I just put in a new camera, used one that I got on > > Ebay that just fit in the opening in the bezel.
