Yes. There is no reason that you can't just use the upfitter switch in your Ford F-250 to connect the power of the Custom 3rd Brake Light Camera # 3460006 instead of installing a new switch. I've linked an installation video we did that you can use as a reference, as well.

I have a 2011 F450 Lariat, I have replaced the oem tailgate with an RV Custom Flow tailgate so I no longer have need for the original tailgate camera in the handle, can this camera system be attached to the original wiring harness so it comes on when truck is placed in reverse? I need the camera to show the fifth wheel hitch when connecting/disconnecting from a trailer. The original tailgate camera harness only had three wires attached.
