Did you use the relay with your HitchCam?

Thanks Steve.

I had to use two foam spacers. It seemed odd to have to do so. The HitchCAM seems to be expecting the locking pin hole to be further back. I sent HitchCAM an email, so I'll let you know.

Ok, I'll await your feedback from them. My Hitchcam was installed by the local dealer.

Steve, did your local dealer

- use two foam spacers or some other extended/bigger spacer?

- add the relay (like above) to shut off power to your hitch when the ignition is off?

- my HitchCAM has a slightly amount of play in the receiver. I was thinking of stuffing some additional foam inside the hole to eliminate this movement. Do you notice this play in your installation? Does it have any effect on your image when in motion in ACC mode or cause noise/rattle?

[Is the Biju Lounge down on First Street still there? LOL- oh the good ol' days.]

MB,

• Looks like 2 spacers, just like your pictures
• Don't know about the relay, but I've had no battery problems
• No play at the receiver. No image problems, no noise, no rattle.

I think the Bijou Lounge is gone (but I could be wrong). Ajax Club is gone. Fancier Agenda Club across the street seems to do well. Old Fox theater was fully restored and is now the California theater.

I hope above info helps some.

Thank you Fourfourto. Unfortunately, I need the wire loom containing in the engine compartment by the fire wall as I need to install a relay to kill the power to the hitch when the ignition is off. (See the HitchCAM instruction sheet in my earlier post.) My Service Manuals (vol 1 and 2) don't reference the trailer wiring.
