Rear Assist Lines
The rear assist lines generated by the system's camera make connecting your fifth wheel camper or gooseneck trailer a one-person job. The lines appear on your 8" factory monitor and show the distance from other objects, allowing you to accurately line up your connection point when hooking up your camper or trailer.
0 Lux Night Vision
0 Lux night vision produces a quality picture and gives you the flexibility you need when hooking up your camper or trailer. You can line up your connection point in low-light conditions at dusk, or in complete darkness at night without the aid of IR transmitters.
Switch Kit
The switch kit adds a new dimension to your current setup, allowing you to toggle between views from your truck bed camera and factory backup camera with the flip of a switch. The integrated flip switch can be mounted inside of your truck to give you a clean OEM look and easy access.
Simple Installation
Simply unscrew and unplug your factory third brake light. Once removed, set your new custom bezel with camera in place. Feed the 6' camera wire through the opening into your truck and re-install your factory third brake light in front of the custom bezel.
Connect your 6' camera wire to the 18' wiring harness. This combined 24' wire will extend through your head liner or door sill panel along the edge of the floor, up to the front of your truck, and connect with the included ground and power wiring harness. The power wire will run to your truck's battery.
The switch kit installs by connecting one end of the included T-harness into the factory plug behind your radio, and the other end into the back of your radio. The integrated power wire for the flip switch will run to 12V accessory power.

Fairly easy to install. Just make sure the connections are tight. I had one that was not completely tight, went back over the connectors and then it worked good. Good image on my factory synk4 8” display
by: Rusty T02/06/2024
With a fifth wheel hitch in the bed, I struggled to hit the pin hooking up. With this camera it's a snap. Hookup the first try every time. Install was easy if you follow the video and take your time.
by: Chip09/04/2022
It's unclea whether the voltage regulator in the camera cable failed or the camera cable was chafed by something moving behind the dash, but the company was excellent in making good. A bit of a pain to replace it, but the second camera is working very well. Very clear picture.

Looks like original equipment and should make hookups much easier. Has great view.

It’s not as clear of a picture as factory. I still find myself looking over my shoulder.

Easy install, clear picture, instructions could be improved. Make sure to use both ground wires or camera will not work. Would be nice to be able to zoom in with camera both overall great product
by: Stacy12/01/2021
I am incredibly happy with this back up camera for our 2019 F350. The picture is crystal clear and the wiring allowed us to view on the factory truck screen. etrailer was informative and their experience helpful in our decision to purchase this camera.

1 year in and this camera is still doing great. Very clear image.

The only disappointment is you can’t zoom in on the ball in the box but easy installation !

2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty
For being an after market item it is a great camera. The installation video on how to install was very informative down to the last detail. I installed this camera on my 2019 Ford F250 SD that had the sync 3 8" screen and it went together very well.
The ONLY thing I would have liked to see is a "centered line" in the middle of the picture to help guide the king pin onto the 5th wheel hitch when hooking up my trailer.
I know that there are other newly acquired F-Series buyers who, after years of hooking up 5th wheels by just looking into your rear view mirror, never realized that with these new Ford Trucks that you lose the line of sight due to a higher rear seat back that covers over 8 inches of the rear window so you can't see your hitch. Otherwise, I would have probably had the Ford original camera in the 3rd brake light option.
Too bad Ford doesn't sell the camera's to the public as they are losing out of a bunch of money!!!

Same as mentioned above
by: Jim10/07/2020
My bed camera works great. Etrailer really stepped up to the plate for me. I installed it and could not get the camera to work after double checking my connections and the instructional video. We determined that the jumper harness was bad. They shipped out another camera system before I could get back to them and let the know the distributor was about 20 miles from me and they agreed to exchange the jumper harness. They even helped me test it on my truck before I left. Thank you Etrailer

Love it. I have gotten to where I can back right over without getting out and checking several times.
by: Cory 12/11/2022
Installation was straight forward and it has worked as expected for over a year, now. It works perfect for hooking up our gooseneck in our extended cab truck where we can't see in the bed.
by: Michael S02/27/2021
Easy to install by just watching the video. I wired it to the Ford auxiliary switches as was shown on the video. This will take the guesswork out of hooking to my gooseneck 5th wheel.

Camera is awesome. We have had it installed over a year now and it works perfectly
by: Andy 11/29/2020
Quality is descent. Would be nice to be able to manually zoom for better close up. The camera doesn’t work well with Trucks with bakflip (shortbed)cover if you using to hook-up to gooseneck. You can’t see the ball at all. Need about an inch more clearance. But overall love the camera. Without a cover works great.
by: Ed05/18/2021
The camera is great, I can backup to my 4th wheel camper and hookup by myself. The only issue I would say is you have to totally remove the front part of your truck to hook it up.

Great product, no issues
by: 01/21/2022
The instruction sheet was a joke, no value. I had a little trouble figuring out how the power gets to the camera, this is not on the instructions.The toddle switch that came with it exploded after I installed it. I got a better switch and changed. I added to the instruction sheet to include the connecting wires between the camera and the plugins to the truck screen.

I will have Customer Service reach out to you. I am also attaching a video detailing the installation process.
by: Eric 10/31/2021
The unit was installed on 10/30/21. Works just like it should. Gives an excellent view of gooseneck ball and inside pick up bed. The camera angle is adjustable as well. The only thing I did was replace toggle switch with a more "clean" looking finger switch. Didn't like the toggle switch. Very satisfied with the camera. Should make it much easier to connect the trailer.
by: Thomas03/29/2021
Your install video saved the day. Product works as advertised and I like how it uses the factory monitor and the upfitter switch. Ford sure likes to hide those pass through wires though.

I installed on a f150 platinum and it worked great. I since have gotten another truck that had it from the factory. Very worthwhile if you have a fifth wheel or goose neck trailer.

Great product. Easy to install and connect. Perfect view. Better picture than the factory camera!
by: Charles 01/21/2021
Love it! Makes hitching up my 5th wheel super easy. It even survived a few drive through car washes before I realized I probably shouldn't be doing that.

2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty
The camera works great. Installation process was pretty simple. I watched the online installation video. The only issue I had, was the small "capped off" ground wire, that wire was never mentioned in the installation video. I knew it was labeled "ground", but it had a cap, almost as if it was terminated. Once I removed the cap and grounded the wire, the camera worked flawlessly.

Easy install, works great, makes it very easy to hook up my 5th wheel camper now.
by: Thomas12/14/2021
I followed the video installation exactly for my 2018 Ford F-250. At first, I failed to connect the tiny ground wire on the smaller jumper and the system didn’t work. Once properly grounded - everything works perfectly.

- Should The Custom Third Brake Light Camera 3460001 Work In Colder Temperatures?The way the Custom Third Brake Light Camera # 3460001 is designed, you should not be having any problems at below freezing temps. I cannot say I have ever heard this complaint in regards to any of the RV/Truck cameras that we sell here. My father-in-law has a similar camera on his Chevy truck.

I recommend double checking your wiring to make sure everything is fully pressed in. Some times when plugging the wiring in and then putting the trim panels back in can pinch or pull on the connectors and cause an issue. From there you'll also want to check that the switch is getting 12v power with a multimeter # PT89ZR. There's a chance that...

If you have the 8 inch monitor, use # 3460001 or # 3460002 if you have the 4.2 inch monitor. This being said, this part will only work if your truck has the rear-view camera at the rear of the truck.

- Can GCH Automotive Custom Third Brake Light Camera Go Through Car WashAccording to the owner of GCH Automotive, the # 3460001 camera can be ran through a car wash. Just make sure the gaskets are installed properly. If they aren't installed properly, the camera can leak. It's also important that the mounting screws aren't overtightened. This will deform the plastic and can also cause warping.
