Note: This product is not compatible with the 360/Ultimate Trailer Tow Camera System or with digital cameras that have the style of connector shown below.
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.
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.

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at this BringIt SwitchBack SOLO Tailgate Camera. Now this system is specifically designed for your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the 1500s, the 2500s, and the 3500s. And on custom fit parts such as this system, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Just input the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if this system will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you.
Now, I do wanna point out that this product is not currently compatible with digital cameras, just so you're aware of that. But this camera system is going to allow you to clearly see objects behind you as you drive and reverse with the tailgate of your Silverado or Sierra down. Having a backup camera on your truck has become an essential piece of equipment on our trucks. However, when you have that tailgate down and you're backing up, all you can see is the ground beneath you. So this camera system is going to tie in to your factory backup camera and automatically switch views when you put your tailgate down.
Now this is going to be a relatively simple installation. It will require the temporary removal of your tailgate access panel to mount this SOLO block and harness. And this SOLO block is the sensor that's going to detect if your tailgate is in the upright position or if it's down. And when it is down, then this will activate the secondary camera system that is included with this kit. And then the inline harness is going to connect directly to your factory camera harness.
So there's not going to be a need for an additional monitor with this kit. And then you can work, you can use rather, the view that's going to work best for you. You can either choose the license plate frame camera option, or the top mount camera option. And on your screen, I am including pictures of what either option is going to look like when it is installed. So you can use that license plate frame camera if you don't wanna drill into the tailgate of your truck, that's gonna help you hook up your trailer with your tailgate down.
Or for the best view, you can install the top mount camera in the top of your tailgate to safely back up when you carry long loads. So the top mount camera is gonna give you the best view overall. However, if you don't wanna drill into your tailgate, you can just choose that license plate option, but to drill into your tailgate to install this camera, this does include the drill bit to make installation easier. And so what I really like about this system is that it does come with both options out of the box. So whichever view you prefer, those options are gonna be available to you, right out of the box. Instructions are included to guide you through the installation process. I'm impressed with the instructions. Not only do they go step by step through the installation, but they also have really nice, clear color photos for each step along the way. And this system is made here in the USA. So if you are looking for a way to clearly see behind you as you're driving in reverse with your tailgate down, this is gonna be a great system for you to consider. Well, I think 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.
