I'm not exactly sure what you mean about jiggle loose like the spring-loaded lid. It doesn't replace any of that it's just a plug-in to your existing equipment. You unplug the back of your round trailer plug in and this plugs in there and and there is a spot on this that you replug the wiring into. It's like a T. It did seem to stay fastened without a problem and I have not had a problem yet but I suppose it could wiggle loose with time. But I don't for see that to be a big problem but probably something to keep an eye on.Does the inline connector have a "lock" for the trailer's plug so it can't jiggle loose? Like the spring-loaded lid does on most vehicle receptacles? Also, tman, what is the make of your truck? Is the screen big enough and bright enough? Would you buy it again? Thanks.
My truck is a 2006 Ford F1 50 extended cab 6 1/2 foot bed. The screen is a little bit small but Big enough. Haven't noticed any problems with the brightness. The camera is adjustable and so are the sensors so you can set it up exactly the way you want it. It also has audio which is nice if you're using it for snowplowing or something like that it will alarm you if you're getting too close to something. I normally keep that off or really low because it starts to beep as I get close to a trailer or if I'm backing up with the trailer connected. I would absolutely buy this again in a heartbeat worth every penny. The only thing I would change about it is that I would like to have the option so I could turn it on manually instead of just when it's in reverse. That seems like it would be handy but not a deal breaker. One of the nicest upgrades I've done. very handy
