    So just using the factory one? Then replacing the tailgate handle itself with one that doesn't have the camera hole in there? Perfect!!!

    True. And there won't be any electronics once the camera is out of there.
    I'm curious if the camera itself is waterproof though.

    Oh... I'm curious if I can't just mount it anywhere I want? Hmm if I could relocate the camera to the license plate and keep the same camera that would be perfect.
