Question:
Will Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System work on 2006 Chevy Suburban?

It sure will! The Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System item # HM50002 turns your license plate bracket into a back up camera. It features a 3-1/2" color monitor that will give you a clear picture along with visual cues and audible alerts to ensure safety when backing up. The camera is powered by connecting to the reverse light circuit on your Silverado or by connecting directly to the OEM 7-Way.
I linked a video below of item # HM50002 being installed on a 2009 Sierra for you to take a look at. This is the closest video we have to your 2006 Suburban so you'll get a pretty good idea of how it's going to work.
