I did mine yesterday. Took about 2 hours. I routed the the rear camera cable through the driver side rubber conduit rather than the passenger side. I used a zip tie to pull the cable through without the end first. The driver side conduit has less fill already so it pulled through immediately. I also used cable lube so there was was no working it. It pulled through in about 5 seconds. I did end up drilling a hole and installing a rubber grommet. Had I found this thread first I probably would have tried going through the tail light and back up. That said, it's a small hole and not really a big deal. There were no other issues with the install.
For power, I used this:
Amazon.com: Low Profile Right or Left Angle OBD 2 II Extension with Flat Ribbon Cable 1/30cm CAN Bus Compatible: Automotive
Attached to this:
Amazon.com: SOLAR ESA30 OBD II Memory Saver Connector: Automotive
which I cut the end off of and wire crimped a female accessory socket. With that, I just plugged the end of the power supply for the BlackVue in and did not have to cut the end off so it used the fuse built into the cable. I taped it with 3m tape so it doesn't come decoupled in the future. I then zip tied that bundle behind the side console popup panel, the one that has the magnetic door switch sensor in it.
Routing through the headliner was especially easy once I removed the rear view mirrors and brackets on both sides. The headliner has popout fastener so you just pull down and the hole thing pretty much comes away from the roof.
