Review on Master Tailgaters Replacement For Ford F150 F250 F350 F450 F550 (1997-2007) Chrome Tailgate Handle With Backup Camera by Robert Hoge

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works like a charm: Car electronics

Don't be fooled, it's not like you can just 'plug and play', but if you have a stereo receiver that is compatible with a backup camera it's very easy to run cables. You need to remove the back door. (You will need to use a drill or hole punch to make a hole in the underside of the tailgate as there is none by default). After removing the tailgate, drill a hole in the floor and then route the wiring. Make sure to wrap the wire with a loom or something similar so it doesn't cut when it rubs against the metal. Then just ground the black wire somewhere on the truck (any metal surface will do, just wipe off the paint if there is one). ) From there, all you have to do is route the power and video cables along the guide frame and up through the firewall. I swear it's not as hard as it seems. It was the first thing I've ever hooked up in my life and it took about 2 hours. Since then I started connecting more cables to the truck because I realized it wasn't that difficult. Oh yeah, save yourself the headache and get a good multimeter with a ground clip.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Reliability
