If that is the case there is a rubber grommet under the door sill. Just pry up the door sill with your fingers and push back the carpet (towards the emergency break) and you will see it. There are already a few wires running through it. Just be prepared for a bit of a messy job if your truck has been undercoated!

The installation is simple. The camera installs with the rear tag bolts and you run a wire to your backup light wire so it works only in reverse. The monitor goes on the dash whereever you elect and you simple run a wire to it that is hot with the ignition. I have manual 4X4 so I popped out the plug where the electronic switch would be and ran the wire through the hole to the fuse box where I simply put the wire under a fuse. I then used the included velcro attachment and put it on my dash beside the radio. I have used it about 3 months and the only disadvantages I have found is I get a little radio static if I am listening to a far off FM station (I just turn the monitor off). Also, sometimes you will see the lobby of a bank or other place if you pass one that has a wireless camera that is the same frequency.

There is a grommet on the fire wall that works really nice, I have several items running through the hole and since it is up underneath the dash it is clean. Also the trailer brake harness and pigtail that came with your truck is wonderful for powering accessories. All of your tail lights and all of that jazz is on this pigtail. There will be a wire diagram in the pigtail package to show you what wire does what. Some cameras come on with the reverse lights, this wire is on that pigtail.
