I own a 04 scab f150 with an 8 foot box and a canopy. I have a kenwood dvd head unit that wil support a video input. Has anyone installed a hitch cam or any kind of backup cam that they can recommend? Thanks

 

I do not have one, but I did research them a little several months ago. If you like, I can post the contact/pricing info I received (it's at home). Let me know.

They are not cheap, but would certainly come in handy. Personally, I never tow anything and have the Reverse Sensing System. So, I don't have much use for the camera. Oh, and I'd go with the FrameCAM in lieu of the HitchCAM. Using the FrameCAM will free up your hitch ... allowing you to see what you're about to hook up, etc. The HitchCAM would have to be removed ... which kind of defeats the purpose of having it.

 

Yeah, I have the same ddx 7015 head unit as you and enquired (briefly) about this the other day. Can't give you any camera brand specifics yet but my local Kenwood dealer was estimating about $200 for the camera, most likely installed into the top of a specially designed Tag plate holder that is available in chrome, black etc...I'll probably go this route!

 

There are several brands avaliable. Hitch cam and frame cam are expensive, but they look ok. The hitch cam powers up off the main hitch plug which is cool. ICON TV sells just a camera, its very small, easy to install, and works great. You can mount it right in the bumper. Their address is IconTV.org later bud...
