There is no issue installing the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System part # HM50002 when you have used your 7 way for something else. This will actually connect to your 7 way wiring behind the bumper where your factory wiring plugs into the back of the 7-way connector.
It is an in line plug meaning that you unplug the connector put the t connector from the backup camera in the middle and reconnect. Even if you have done this with a different accessory this one can be plugged in right in line with that one.
I have linked a video of the system being installed on a 2013 Silverado for you to check out.
