How did you run the wires into the truck? Just wondering what might be the best way to do it.

where are you mounting the camera?? I have the flushmount installed in the keyhole for the back glass and ran the wires with the tail lights wires at the top of the rear hatch.

So, is your keyhole button still operational to open the back glass? Got any pics of it?

with the rca cable that came with my camera, i'm going to have to run the wires from the camera up maybe behind the rubber weather seal right below the door handle of the liftgate.

i'm thinking about trying to either mount the camera on the license plate or right above it on top of the bumper, or maybe down by that void in the trailer hitch.

this is the one i bought. the same seller also sells a 3.5" monitor that can go in that cubby hole also.

i tested it out and it seems to work good so far. i'll know more after i get it mounted permanently and expose it to everyday use.

yeah, i'm anxious to start getting some use out of it. it'll help when backing up and there is a car behind you.

No problem, too bad the button isn't operational anymore, that would be cool!! If you get around to getting a pic of it and have time to post it up, that would be cool as well!
