Can I install this camera as the tailgate camera? On the tailgate handle pointing down?

Yes it does get installed pointing at an angle but the angle is not adjustable and the camera not reversible. I had to make a shim to get the correct angle on my Van. Your situation is diferrent. Not sure what you mean on the handle.

I tried to do the same, but the camera has a layout patern that you will see a the top instead at the bottom of the image. Unless you open the camera and try to turn it up, which I did not tried. Too much problem.

This camera has a very cheap ball mount. It pivots around but it's not great. The camera itself works amazingly well though. You may need to position it and use some tape to keep it at the exact spot you want.

Mine does due to installing the camera in a custom tailgate handle I also purchased through Amazon. The tailgate handle has a camera in it that is angled so I can see from my bumper and outward. The installation process was not difficult. Hope this helps, good luck.

As far as I know, this is for the Toyota tailgate that already has a camera. Maybe You'll need to buy OEM from Toyota

Sure! But as far as hooking up, I don't think you can improve over looking out the rear window of your tow vehicle. Since the camera has a strong magnet that allows it to be attached to any ferrous metal (steel, iron, not aluminum...) you can attach it to different parts, such as the rear bumper or framework, of the 5th wheel and see where you are going. It's like an extra pair of eyes to see otherwise blind spots while backing up or even doing tight turns. I have found that the range of the camera is excellent and you can even mount it on a metal part (hinge, lock...) of a building so you can see how close you are getting to it with your trailer.

Like everyone has said, it is going to depend on the combination of your truck and trailer. The part of the hitch that goes into the receiver tube is an "L" and can either point up or down. I needed it to point up for my trailer. That made it interfere with the tailgate, by 1/2"? Pointing the hitch down would put the trailer tongue too low. Im guessing that it is not recommended... but after I tried out the hitch to make sure it worked like people said it did, I cut off the extra height on the "L" piece. Works great, no interference now.

I've got the opposite problem. I placed mine in the rear, but the image is NOT reversed. Wish I could trade cameras. I didn't notice this until it was installed in my rear bumper.

This comes with many mounting options. I have one mounted on my dash and it can work as a dash camera.

1) It doesn't attach to the dash. It plugs into the cigarette lighter. It is on an approx 12 inch stiff cable. you can twist and bend the cable to see the monitor and the stiffness of the cable holds that position. 2) I don't know the exact viewing angle of the camera, but with the trailer attached and the camera on the handle of my pickup tailgate, I can see the bumper and ball/trailer hitch at the bottom, the trailer at the top and the just see the side of the trailer side to side. Very adequate field of view.

Yep. Mine is a 2011 with a camera. And yes, I imagine this will keep your tailgate from being stolen.

You mean if you can mount it in side ways?? yes.. you can mount either L or R on the windshield and rotate the cameras one for the front and one for the back.

No you can't. Camera is static. You can add additional equipment down the road like a gimbal to get it to do what you want. That's what I did.

I am not sure what kind of dash you have so I would not take my advice on it. It is a great purchase though, if I were you I would get the back up camera that you can hook up to it.

I actually just had Best Buy install the backup camera for me. I am not sure of the name brand, it was one the installer recommended at my local BB. The camera looks really great on the head unit and when I put my truck in reverse, the camera turns on. You have to go into the settings and turn on the backup camera, or at least indicate a camera is present.

I'm sure u can but why would u want to hook a rear view camera to this screen it's a flip down for the back seat.....

It will work an if you install the blue cable to the rear view camera with a diode you can control the camera while in motion as well. The new updated model (revision 1.3.1 an higher) can be engaged with the side mirror controller too. I enjoy it and it took 40 minutes to install it and put everything back together. Now I have 2 tvs during road trips and can watch my back while driving for tailgators

It is not designed for flush mount, depending on what type of vehicle you are trying to install it is possible however it will take some skill to mold it in. It is designed to be mounted like a liscense plate mount camera
