    I have a backup camera on tailgate and monitor on radio face inside. Is there anyway to adjust camera to see ball and trailer tongue as I'm backing into position to connect the trailer?


    NEVER MIND IT WORKS FINE, MUCH BETTER THAN I THOUGHT. I'M VERY PLEASED WITH THE ACCURACY OF BEING TO LINE UP BALL AND HITCH..:D

    It kinda already does that. Are you asking about when the tailgate is down? If so, then no. I have pondered on how to make it happen with the tailgate down but no luck yet.

    I'll have to try it out (just got it) by looking at the camera location it doesn't seem like it would point down far enough to actually see ball and hitch alignment.

    There was room beside the handle to drill a hole in handle trim.
