My better half is hopefully picking up a 57 freelander next week, but wants a reverse camera fitted, I've seen one that it integrated to the plate light housing, I thought it looked quite need but does anyone know the best way to run the cable from there to the head unit.

Gonna try and get all the bits ready for when it arrives.
 
I fitted one in that position but found it gives a lopsided rear view. The spare wheel hides a lot. I fitted mine into the rear bumper, right in the centre of the 'o' Land Rover which ic more centred. Still gives a view in that position.
 
I had one in my D3 before I sold it. I found it a pointless addition. The camera lense was very susceptible to dirt which blurred the image.
I disconnected it but left it fitted when I sold the car. PDC is much better for general parking I've found.
The cables route easy enough down the nearside cable tray.

I've fitted one in my 110 and it's handy specially when lining up the tow bar but that cable route was quite easy, but I've no idea where to even start looking in the freelander.
 
Hi Mcclegend, did you ever find out how to fit the camera and thus the wiring

Yeah. Got one fitted, a replacement number plate light cover with integrated camera, ran the cable inside the boot card through the cable gland at the top then down the passenger side under the roof lining down the a panel behind the dash to the head unit.

Fitted double din head unit with big screen choose one that would supply power to camera.

got reverse signal and hand break signal from under the centre console. Need a 10 meter video, power cable to run through the car. 5 meter cable isn’t long enough.
