I have a Ford 2006 F250 Superduty and wanted to install a tailgate handle backup camera. I spent several hours researching sites/companies and reading several hundred reviews on these handle cameras and was notified in reviews that the plastic welded bolts will break off so be prepared to use the metal bolts/bracket that came off the original handle. Well on my 4 time opening my talilgate the plastic bolts just came right off the bracket so the handle was just flopping around. Since I read so many people had this issue I wasn't surprised. I spoke with Tailgate Camera.com and he also advised me this would happen. No matter where you buy a handle camera for this type of handle you will have this problem. I took the metal bracket and studs from the original factory handle and installed on the new handle. I had to drill (no big deal), the more tedious part was filing down the plastic so the metal bracket/studs would allow the handle to be flush. The plastic was raised where you put the metal bracket so you have to file the raised part down or the handle will not sit flush (at least on my handle). I used a Dremel tool with sandpaper to do this and came out great. The handle is installed and all said took me about 35 min. The cameral is great, wide 180 degree view, I can see the ball of the hitch no problem. Daytime the picture is great, nighttime it is a bit grainy but is good for me as I just want to see backing up. The night lumen is pretty good. It is very dark in driveway and I can see everything, just a bit grainy, no big deal. I give this handle camera 5 stars because of the service I received from Tailgate Cameral, they were extremely knowledgeable, responsive, detailed and helpful. Told me about the plastic bolt issues, informed me how to remove the grid lines so I can have my Kenwood unit adjust it's own grid lines, The unit arrived here in Buffalo from California in 3 days which is really good delivery. Service is great!!!
