product description says not compatible with vehicles with rear backup camera LCD displays. Not sure if they mean doesn’t work with trucks with backup cameras, LCD displays or both. Or backup cam displayed in the rear view mirror. How is you’re truck equipped?

After skinning up several knuckles and getting a crick in my back trying to get a connector on the pass thru wires, I am 1 of the members that ended up just going thru a grommet in the floor pan. I ran 4 wires from my 2017 (drivers side relay box back then) relay box in a wire loom across the top of the firewall, down to the frame, then to the grommet next the passenger side seat. From there I ran the wires to a space behind the glovebox, added a female cigarette socket to each, and ran my accessories to those. Using the cigarette sockets allows me to switch out the my accessories to whatever upfitter switch I choose, plus my dash cam has some weird voltage and needs the cigarette socket to convert that.

I don't have any other pics and it's raining right now. I was able to fish a wire where the console trim (while popped up) meets the dash to come out at the bottom near the floorboard. Was then able to pull the dash cam wire up from behind the glove box under the console trim and into the console.
