Hi, I want to use this on my Tundra for when I have my slide-in truck camper installed. Will it transmit through truck camper to cab? Thanks!

U do with it what u want. It's a pice of junk in my book. I placed mine were it belonged. In the garbotch.

Should not be a problem. The transceiver has a lot of cable to get it close to the cab.

It should. I have it on the tailgate of my dodge pickup. The pickup bed is filled with 150gal aluminum fuel tank, jacks, tools, 4 wheeler and it works well when I hookup to my travel trailer.

Mine is placed in the left corner of the bed. I only use it when I load my trailer then remove it, so it is only temporary. I have it set up with Velcro, easy on/off. It might work that way for you. Put it under the lip of the bed, if it doesn't work, just put it outside on the corner then remove when the unit is loaded.hope this helps

The transmitter has a fairly long cord in it. The closer you get the transmitter to the receiver the better since your camper is pretty well enclosed. That's a good question.

No. You can set it to different vehicles. It does not have to be set up as a truck unit. It may advise that a route "may have" restrictions, but will not avoid them.

It didn't to my truck. I just made sure the tunnel was free flowing for fumes. I did a video of using it on YouTube.

This unit is installed on a 2013 Ford F150 so I cannot really attest for the functionality on a Tundra however the F150 does have a spare tire behind the bumper and there are no interference issues.

I would email the Tekonsha company and ask. On my 2008 Tundra the wiring plug in for the controller is under the dash and near the steering column and easily visible with a flashlight. It should be an exact mate to the wiring end on the Tekonsha.

I installed this controller in my 2013 ford F150 work truck. The truck came with a tow setup but no hitch, wiring plug or brake controller installed. The wiring was there but not hooked to anything. I had the hitch and plug installed and installed the controller myself works great. I tow a 2 horse trailer a 16' car hauler + a small utility trailer and have had no problems with any. My concern would be since it has a factory installed controller I would want to be sure that the factory controller was completely disconnected so as not to interfere with the new one. I'm not savy enough to do that so I would take it to an R V service shop to have it done right. I installed this controller in my 2013 ford F150 work truck.

Yes, the instructions say that each wall switch cab be programmed to a separate transmitter. You can also have multiple transmitters programmed to a switch.

Believe so. Just make sure to extend the little antennas on the sensors. I have a 40 foot motorhome, and with the transmitter on the front I get good coverage of the engine hatch even without extending the antennas. The signal passes through a layer of wood and fiberglass with no problem in spite of the distance.

I installed one on my 2008 Tacoma xtra cab. Very simple to install in tailgate. The wiring takes a little time. Great device! Should fit!

You don't have to connect from the bumper to the cab .The system is wireless .You'd have to connect the sensors with the lights in the bumper and the display inside the cabin. It;d work in your F150

Doug - it's as simple as plug and play. I mounted the device under the dash and ran the antenna to the out side on top of the cab. Tucked the wire in the weather strip and came in throught the door and dash area. This is my second unit to purchase and will highly recommend it. Thinking about buying a third one for my boat. Good luckKeith H.

Thank you for your help. I finally installed the unit in my truck yesterday to test it out. Here's another question. Is their a way to program it to map out Commercial Routes as I drive a large truck and can't go on any parkways?

I am not aware of this type of feature and would be surprised if it did. I am not a trucker, so your fellow truckers would be more apt to know this.

The wiring is short for probably any truck. I installed this on a f250 extended cab short bed. I did have to extend the rear wires. This is really a non issue, some simple waterproof butt connectors and your good to go.

Yes it can be installed on the back of a trailer. However it will only transmit over a short distance. If the transmitter and receiver are too far apart the signal will be degraded or lost.

I installed this unit in a 2007 Toyota Tundra and it works flawlessly. I installed it myself in about 45 mins. It is plug a play, no wires to cut or slice. I found a video on YouTube of my vehicle showing how to remove head unit to plug the gateway. It only took me 45 mins because I never done it before so I took my time. I would've been very upset if I had paid a shop $100 or more for what would've taken them probably 10 mins to install because they do it all the time. I'm not sure if it works with the Avalon but I know it works on many different models by Toyota. And I do get all the Howard Stern channels although I don't listen to them.

Depends in and around town not bad. Get out way from the city or in tunnels is not so good. I am in Germany so they transmit at much lower wattages and use different frequencies. My opinion or thought is, it would work better in the US, but not much. I still like it, and will keep it on my truck.
