I watched the YouTube video on the installation and it looks very difficult for the novice especially as I have a backup camera on my truck, easy/not?

First, get this one.. Pop & Lock PL5400 Black Manual Tailgate Lock with BOLT Codeable Technology for Toyota Tacoma .. Going from memory here, but it was really easy. Just took the bolts off around the tailgate cover, it slid right off. The bolts for the handle, came right out. Flop the bar over (not hard at all, I promise). put the new handle in, and put everything back together. I use both the locking hoseclamp solution and this. I feel that this lock is not REAL strong, it feels a bit cheap. This is why I combine it with a locking hoseclamp. First, get this one..

Extremely easy once the bedliner on the tailgate is off it is literally 3 bolts and a metal rod to switch over, just once the bedliner is taken off (all screws are visible very easy to take off) take a picture of the handle and replicate it with the new one my backup cam fit perfectly... Hope this helps. Good luck!

The latest version was very easy to install. The camera was just a matter of removing/installing a few screws

Its actually very easy. I also had the camera and this fits perfect. No issues with it.

We don't have the back up camera so I can't speak to that but its very easy without it. Take off the inside panel cover and three bolts come off and the lock slips in, tighten the three bolts and put the panel back on.

My old VCR is still blinking 12:00 but this was a piece of cake. Simple directions, easy to follow.Installed on 2013 Tacoma with backup camera. Works very well. Should keep an honest person honest.

No instructions. Found you tube video and no problems with install. Also need to get engine model and match up right kit.

Hardest part was getting the video feed into my trunk, I had to drill a hole in the spare tire pan. But some cars will be easier than others. The rest was just popping up trim and running the cable under the dash to the monitor. Only like a 1.5 hour install for me. Although, the instructions did not indicate tapping the red wire into the reverse lamp so there was a little time scratching my head until I figured it out.

Its wasnt that difficult, but make sure you check the parts. I had some parts broken.

I think it can be easy or difficult, depending on the vehicle. I installed mine (with a Kenwood DDX371) in a Land Cruiser, and it took me several hours to figure out where to hide the wires, how to remove the panels, how to get the spare tire out of the way, how to wire it, etc. I also researched it on ih8mud.com (a forum for everything Land Cruiser). I'm a girl with moderate mechanical ability, but I figured it out and learned a lot. I would not say it was easy. I probably saved $200 by installing the radio and camera myself. The most difficult part was fitting the wires through some of the rubber grommets because they had other wires coming through them and there was not much room. Running it under the vehicle as one person suggested would have been much easier. Good luck!

Sorry, I did not perform the installation; I had a plumber do it. He did not seem to have any trouble getting it installed. I guess practice make it look easy!

It is super easy, but if you are asking this you may want to have someone else install it. Here is a link to an installation; http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=998321

If you're somewhat tech savvy, then it should be pretty easy to install. The instructions that come with it or pretty self explanatory. This was the second one I've installed on the same system.

The instructions were not easy to follow. I found a video on youtube. Then it was quite simple

Mine is in a Toyota Prius hatchback. The installation instructions are horrible. First I had to figure out how to get the inside panel off (you need a tool like a slim-jim). Just know what's where before you drill any holes. Try out the camera in various positions before you affix it to make sure you're going to see what you really want/need to see.

It's an easy install, but if you have doubts about doing it yourself, get help doing it. It's OK to not want to do this yourself. Get professional help, or a competent friend. In my case, I chose to mount it in a very well hidden location underneath my dash, and wire it discretely to an always-on power source also under the dash. Discuss options with your installer. It isn't a difficult project, so won't cost you a lot of money. Or no money, in the case of a friend. You will be amazed how well it works: Instantly locate you vehicle, download a complete history of where it has gone, every spot along the way, and how fast it was going at each point. Does what it claims. Go for it! It's an easy install, but if you have doubts about doing it yourself, get help doing it. It's OK to not want to do this yourself.
