The monitor that comes with the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System part # HM50002 has a mounting bracket with double sided tape that is designed to attach to your windshield, dashboard, or center console. In order to mount the monitor on your dash you will first want to clean the surface then remove the sticker and place it in the location you desire while holding down firly to secure it in place.

I spoke to my contact at Hopkins and they informed me that on an extended cab pickup truck, the Extension Cable part # HM3100504060 will be needed to link the camera and monitor.
