I’ve gotten the front / rear dashcam wired up really nicely. The last gap, is to roll the wiring for the rear through the hinge on the back door. There are two Allen bolts that take off the plastic cover. Then there’s another plastic holder that holds the wires to the rear hatch. I cannot figure out a way to open up that little cover. Has anyone had any luck?

Yup, once you have either side of the hinge off, then that plastic cover has to be popped spin by sliding a small flat head screw driver into it. It's quite fiddly and is on the inside of the hinge !

The plastic trim on the inside of the boot at the top pops off relatively easily to thread the wire round to the top of the rear screen !

Mines all in (BlackVue DR750s 2-ch) and if I can I'll take some pictures !

No need to remove that cover. Just pull down the roof liner to thread the cable behind and through the rubber grommet. The grommet can be pulled out to make it a bit easier.

Correction... no rubber grommet on our X3... I must have been thinking of another install I've done recently!

That would be great if you can!
