Tailgatecamera.com anyboyd heard of them?
Was looking for an addition to my truck to aid in hooking up my boat. As well as backing up aid.
Came across this on the interweb and seems like a great price at 97 bucks. Anybody heard of them or purchased from them before?

I was going to hook it up to my Edge CTS or get a new head unit

So it came in yesterday and I must say I am very very impressed.
Free two day shipping and the build quality and OEM look is great!
I hooked it up to my Edge CTS and the picture was phenomenal and will do everything that I need it to do. I'm just waiting for the snow and salt to get off the road before I install it so I don't have to dig around in the salt covered under body on my truck.
Here is a picture of it:

I hook up all to often to be hopping out and checking all the time

They also have the mirrors that turn on when you go in reverse

I had no idea I could get one of these for so cheap and have it still look good. What are you going to do to run the wire from the tailgate to the Edge? I think it should plug right into my HU.

I partially installed the camera this weekend.
Here is the back of the tailgate with the access cover exposed ... all you need to do it remove those two nuts and the handle pops out
It came with a washer type thing but I did not install it because it did not line up, not to mention the stock one did not have that. Here it is installed ... looks great and fits great you would never know it was not OEM.
Now getting it through the tailgate and out the bottom hole was a bit of a challenge and I needed to take off the tailgate to do this step correctly. Not really a huge deal on such an easy tailgate to take off. I also decided to loom the whole wire because there might be some sharp edges especially at the entrance holes.
I went trough a small drain hole on the bottom that was near the only opening on the passenger side bottom of the bed.
I also hooked up and wired it out of the cab though the main wire harness under the drivers carpet. I am waiting to run it because I think the wire will be a little shorter than I need and am waiting for my buddies lift so I can cross over the bed instead of running right down the rail to save some length.

Okay so before anybody orders I just finished up installing the camera.
IT DOES NOT SHOW YOUR BUMPER OR A HITCH
I just called them up (and left a message) but I found an "adjustable" tailgate camera for $50 bucks more and they say that one shows the bumper. Pretty ridiculous that this one does not show it. Oh well it's still worth it for 150 ... Just hoping that they accept the return on this one so I can but the other one
Here is a picture of it working .... like I said it's a great quality image and great camera it's just angled wrong
