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 - BR52ZR
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 to fit your 2016 to 2018 Chevrolet Silverados and GMC Sierras, 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. Simply 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 this camera system is going to let you clearly see the objects behind you as you drive in reverse with your truck's tailgate down. And this system is going to easily tie into your factory backup camera and then it automatically switches 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 this SOLO block and harness. And this SOLO block is what is going to determine if your tailgate is up or down.
And if your tailgate is down, of course, then it will activate the camera, the secondary camera that is included with this kit. And then the included inline harness is going to connect directly to your Sierra or Silverados factory harness. So there's not going to be any need for an additional monitor. Now, as you can see there on the photo that I have there on your screen, you can pick the view that's going to work best for you. You can either use the license plate frame camera, so you can hook your trailer with the tailgate down, or you can install the top mount camera in the top of your tailgate to safely back up when you carry long loads.
Now the top mount camera that you see right here, it does require drilling. But what's nice about this kit is it does include the necessary drill bit to use to drill into your top cap to install this camera. So you've got your license plate camera option or the top cap, top mount camera. So both of those cameras are included in this kit. You just decide which one is going to work best for you, and instructions are included to guide you through the installation process.
And the instructions also include photos for every step of that installation process. So again, it's going to be a a pretty simple installation. In my research, I came across the fact that maybe the most difficult part of the installation is going to be disconnecting the factory harness from the factory camera to tie this in. And, but other than that, I think this is going to go very smoothly for you. And this system is made here in the USA. So if you're looking for a way to allow you to clearly see objects behind you as you drive in reverse with the tailgate of your Silverado or Sierra down, this is going to be a great system 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.
