Owner's Manual
CFD-03F
Tailgate Handle Camera
for
FORD F-Series Trucks 2004 - 2014
INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Start by lowering the tailgate of the truck. Remove the tailgate cover by using a T-30 torx bit, remove
(8-13 depending
on
the model) torx bolts that secure the tailgate cover.
2. After removing the tailgate cover you will have access to the backside of the factory tailgate handle.
Using a 10mm socket, remove the (2) nuts holding the tailgate handle
in
place. Lift up
on
the latch
to
release the (2) tailgate handle studs and remove the tailgate handle.
3.
On
the lock cylinder, remove the metal clip that holds the locking mechanism
in
place. Re-Install the
locking mechanism onto the new tailgate handle.
4.
Re-assemble the new tailgate handle into the tailgate
in
reverse order. Route the wiring to power the
camera towards the bottom of the tailgate and through
an
access port to reach underneath the truck.
5.
Route the Video and Power cables from the tailgate of the truck towards the radio location where the
rest of the installation of the camera will take place. The CFD-03F camera cable has 2 RED wires
used
to
power the camera. Only one
is
used. You can tap the RED wire, closer
to
the camera, to the
+12V reverse light wire
in
the tail light assembly or you can tap the thin RED wire coming out of the
yellow RCA
to
the reverse camera power of the aftermarket radio or reverse camera interface
you
are using. Please make sure
to
insulate with tape the RED wire that
is
not being used
to
avoid a
short circuit.
6. Test the camera before completely installing the radio.
Tip: There should
be
an opening between the cabin and the bed of the truck where you can insert the
cables into the cabin area.
