Occasionally, (once every month or two) when entering my 2023, I'll find my mirrors have been extended about an inch. I don't know what the cause of it is. In my case, we only ever use one of the key fobs. The other is securely stored away and is never used. Also, both memory settings have...
It gets mounted to the bracket shown in the below picture. I've added a yellow line to show the side it connects to.
Something somewhat, kind of, sorta, like this edited picture.
The plug to the left of the license plate is only for the rearview mirror. Aux 2 cameras will utilize the 12 pin plug to the right of the license plate. The two systems are not compatible. For Aux 2 you'll need a different camera.
I never intentionally disable the airbags. However, when I jack the front of the trailer up to connect the weight distribution bars, the truck will (often but not always) recognize its back end is being lifted and automatically put the truck in tire jack mode.
The camera system is capable of working with your 2024, if you ordered your 2024 with the 360 trailer surround camera option. If you didn't order your 2024 with this option, then it won't be enabled on your truck and your truck likely won't have all the needed hardware.
As far as I know there...
The family and I went to Yellowstone last July. This was one just one of many stops in a multi-week camping trip. This was intended to be the highlight of the trip, and we had a longer stay planned there than anywhere else. I wouldn't say I was disappointed, it was amazing. The hot springs...
Here's a link to my teardown of this module:

And a couple more pictures:
Don't know it off hand. But going back over some pictures, it looks like it may be 68508050AD.
Wiring is simple. Switched power to pins 4+11. Ground to pins 7+8. Coax from module to mirror, and from module to each camera.
Based off what I'd read, I was expecting the camera to just pan down when put in reverse. Instead the entire view is zoomed out. Don't gain much horizontally, but the vertical is squashed to show more of what's above and below your normal field of view. Pics below...

For those that already have the older 2022 camera system installed on your trailer, it may be possible to switch to the newer (2023+) camera system without having to change out the cable on the trailer. The new camera uses the same connectors and can even mount in the same housing. So that's...
I finally got around to pulling my camper out of storage and installing the new camera system. The new camera does not appear to work without the repeater.
For me, the two trailer camera systems provide very different functionality. I use the rear view mirror camera constantly while driving down the road, and use the 360 trailer camera when backing into a spot.
For comparison, here's a photo that shows both simultaneously:
The rear view mirror...
If your 2024 is like my 2023, there are two things you'll need to get this working as it's supposed to. The first is to enable the "TSVCM Trailer Surround View Camera Module" using AlfaOBD. And the other is a gateway module (if your truck doesn't already have one). On my 2023, the part number...
Different colors of Fakra connectors have slightly different clocking, so that only like color connectors can be joined together. The CHMSL and trailer connectors are of different colors and cannot be directly swapped. The "water blue" fakra connector (used on the extension) is universal and...
If you switch the connections under the driver's seat, it should be possible to utilize the truck's trailer harness. I put several thousands miles on a setup like this over the past summer. In my case I used a short fakra extension (with the blue/universal fakra connections) to connect the...
If you have a 2023, then yes that is the wrong camera. The camera in the part you ordered is made by Gentex. Starting with the 2023 they switched to a system made by Magna. And unfortunately, the 2022 Gentex camera is not compatible with the 2023 Magna system. More details can be found in...
