i love it very much Tell me about easy install

Love this. Tell me about easy install. I have to admit that I watched the U-tube video from the trailer a couple of times before I delivered the unit. Be sure to use the 2 washers provided. I almost skimmed them. Wiring was simple and straightforward. I used the passenger door clip instead of the driver's door for my wire connections. The instructions also show the wire colors for this side. What I didn't expect are 2 specific colors for wire one and 2 for wire two in the harness. When I…

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

It's best to stretch the wire and do it.

When I assembled my 2010 F150 Crew Cab with the tailgate step installed, I fished the wires for the interlock switch through the underside of the tailgate where the harness for the tailgate camera runs.

I found a grommet on the underside of the driver's side passenger door that I cut a small slot in…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Makes me nervous

A few tips for installation

Before purchasing I read reviews complaining about not being able to find the wires to tie. I'm still glad I made the purchase. Finding the right cable set was the hardest part of this setup.

I installed this on my 2011 F150 SuperCrew and now it works perfectly. However, it took a little work on my end aside from basic screw connections and…

That should be the standard for high-end pickups

My son has a Ford F150 Platinum with a rear view camera in the trunk handle. I have a Dodge Ram 3500 also with a backup camera in the trunk. Boot theft has become a problem here. I used some containment methods on both pickups. I put a tie around the right side hinge which has a slot that allows the rear door to be lifted and removed. I cut off the head of the set screw. We also kept the back doors locked. It's a pain when we have to lower the tailgates to load stuff. On my truck, the key is in

Pros
  • Even old people can understand
Cons
  • Some little things
