That turned out nice! I think a back up camera could be useful.

Great job! Takes some real cajone's to cut and splice on your nice truck like that!! I'm betting a lot of folks will be making that mod now that you've done it!

When you cut the hole in the tailgate, did you prime or somehow coat the freshly cut area in some form or fashion? Seems like a prime cadidate to quickly begin to rust if you did not...

Yes its bare metal allright. I put a bead of the black silicon over the edge before I finished. Great point by the way.

F150 Backup

I am in the process of adding the emblem camera also, and was wondering if you know if I am going to use the backup camera, but also the 09' rearview mirror would I have to splice any wires still like the Video, power, etc??

Or will the harneses pretty much be plug and play?

OR will the video harness run straight to the screen, but i will have to find power, etc??

Any help from anyone would be great....

The 09 mirror should plug and play with the 09 camera, but you will probably have to splice into one of the sides to make the cable longer to reach.

So there is no module that the harness would have to run into or anything?? i would basically just have to supply the mirror and camera with a reverse signal, power, and ground as well as just extend the wires??
