It replaces the stock tailgate handle surround bezel, allowing for direct bolt-in installation into the compatible trucks. The camera system has four viewing modes: rear view for backing into tight parking spaces; ground view for seeing the area directly under the camera to help with connecting to a tow hitch; corner view for identifying approaching objects when backing out of a parking space; and panorama view for seeing the entire driveway when backing out. The camera fits in a housing located to the right of the tailgate handle, providing a clean, factory-look. LED lighting is integrated into the bezel, for better viewing in low-light situations. The tailgate lock can be coded for use with the truck’s ignition key.
