Automatic Activation
The SwitchBack SOLO works in conjunction with your factory camera and monitor to ensure you can reverse safely and stay aware of your surroundings. Its standout feature is the automatic switching capability. The camera activates based on your tailgate position, seamlessly switching to the "down tailgate" camera when your tailgate is lowered. This clever feature guarantees you always have the correct view, with no buttons to press or programming required. Say goodbye to views of just the ground or your upside-down license plate.
Easy Installation
The installation process is similar for all trucks and should only take about 10-15 minutes to complete. If any items on your tailgate, such as the remote tailgate lock, do not work before you install the SwitchBack SOLO camera, they will not work after the install. Be sure to check all tailgate functions before you start the installation.
For permanent installation, you will want to install the camera in the top cap of your tailgate. After removing the access panel and drilling a hole with the included drill bit, you can easily feed the camera wire through the base of your tailgate. The SOLO block and harness are then installed inside the tailgate by folding the attached mounting plate around the centermost rib, with the wires running through to emerge behind the bumper. Once you have all of the wires routed beneath the truck, you will disconnect your tailgate wiring from the truck and connect the included in-line harness between them. After everything is connected and tested, use the included wire ties to keep things neat and tucked under your truck.
If a less permanent option is what you need, the license plate tag frame easily installs using the hardware that is already holding the license plate on your truck. The SOLO block gets installed the same way in both options. The waterproof camera on the frame has a power and video wire that run behind the bumper and will connect to the inline harness. The entire frame can also be turned upside down for a wider field of vision. The attached camera can rotate 45 degrees by loosening the screw with the included wrench. After everything is connected and tested, use the included wire ties to keep things neat and tucked under your truck.

Video Transcript for Review of BringIt Tailgates Backup Camera - SwitchBack Solo Tailgate Camera - BR95ZR
Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at this BringIt SwitchBack SOLO tailgate camera. Now, this system is custom designed to fit your 2013 to 2018 Ram 1500s, 2500s and 3500s, then your 2019 and newer Ram 1500 Classic. Now, on custom fit parts such as this system, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Simply input the year, make and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if this will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you.
Another note I would like to make is that this product is not going to currently work with your digital camera, so just so you're aware of that. Now, this camera system is going to let you clearly see objects behind you as you drive in reverse with the tailgate of your Ram down. A backup camera on our vehicles have become essential equipment to have. We rely on them all the time, but on trucks, for the most part, when you have that tailgate down and you're backing up, all you see is the ground beneath you. So, this system is going to tie into your factory backup camera and automatically switch views when you put your tailgate down.
Now, this is going to be a relatively easy installation. It will require the temporary removal of your tailgate access panel to mount the SOLO block and harness that is included with this kit. Now, this is the sensor that detects whether your tailgate is up or down. And of course, when your tailgate is down, the sensor will then activate the secondary camera in this system, and then the included inline harness will connect directly to your factory camera harness. So, there's not gonna be any need for additional monitors or anything like that.
Now, on your screen, I am including a photo showing you the options that come in this kit. You can either choose to use the license plate frame camera or the top mount camera. So, with the license plate frame camera, you can hook up your trailer with your tailgate down or for the best view overall, you can install this top mount camera in the top of your tailgate to safely back up when you carry long loads. So, this top mount camera, the installation of this camera does require drilling into your tailgate. And to make it easier, this kit does include the included drill bit there to make the installation of this camera easier.
So if you really don't wanna drill into your tailgate, then you can choose to use the license plate frame camera. But again, just for the best view overall, you're going to wanna use the the top mount camera, and again, with the drill bit that's included with this, it's going to make that drilling and the installation of that top mount camera all the more easier. Now, instructions are included to guide you through the installation process. The instructions are not only step by step, but also include color photos to make sure that you are doing what the instructions are asking of you. This system is made here in the USA, so if you are looking for a solution to allow you to clearly see what's going on behind you as you drive in reverse with the tailgate of your Ram down, this is really gonna be a great option for you to consider. Well, that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that our time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
