Default Can the location of the back-up camera be moved to a different location ...

I understand it's in the tailgate handle and the cap (ARE MX series) I'm thinking of buying requires removing the tailgate. Can I use a different camera with factory wires/setup ?

Thanks.

sorry if this sounds crazy

Probably but it will look like crap. The harness runs through the inside of the tailgate.

Default Thanks hbliam ...

I figured it would be a problem. Time to do some more research.

You could either:

a) Use the same camera and wires and just mount it somewhere else (like in the license plate)

b) Connect a different camera to the same wires (I can't see how this would be a problem).
