I have thought about the airbags in a lot of cars when wiring cameras over the years... I have had no problem with the fact that the airbags will destroy the flimsy little cables. I don't pull things apart far enough to route under airbags, and I certainly wouldn't be touching airbags regardless!

You can easily remove the pillar trim with a bit of finesse, the highest clip being the most annoying as it's a double locking clip, or "christmas tree" clip as it's called.
Once you've removed the trim/cover you can easily route the cables behind the airbag.Daily 2018 Tiguan MK2 Sportline (Drag & Drop Tune, 12.9s @ 108mph)

^ that works too, however if you're running a rear camera as well then routing down, back then back up will make it a not so fun taskDaily 2018 Tiguan MK2 Sportline (Drag & Drop Tune, 12.9s @ 108mph)

I fitted my mini 0906 'pair' at the weekend - as stated, the A-pillar trim is awkward (had to re-shape the top clip and it is still not sitting perfectly!). Ran the wiring to the rear camera under the passenger side scuff trim and through to the tailgate grommet - happy with the end result (apart from the slightly dislodged A-pillar trim).
Not so happy with the camera running for twenty minutes and then power-cycling and corrupting the data. Will try a re-flash (firmware update) and see how we go. Image quality looked good!

I have had about half a dozen different ones over the years (use for Rally car cam) but thought I would try the 'mini-0..' version even though these have some historical problems.
