That cable part number posted is for the cargo camera used with the surround view system. That camera is digital, and runs through the surround view system CVPM, which you don’t have. You would need the CHMSL that has the analog camera, and no wiring for it will be present. You would have to build a custom harness for it.

Just finished installing on my 2020 2500
Once you enable the camera using Alfaobd a switch appears on the radio screen, see instructions on the Kaodtech.com site. The most difficult part is installing the wire harness from the camera to the dash, which requires adding wires with connector pins into 2 different connectors, one behind the rear side trim panel just below the headliner on the driver side and the other one behind the removable trim panel left of the head light switch. I just checked Ebay and none available with the correct connector. I made the mistake of first purchasing the wrong one. There appear be 2 connector types, one is coax and one is a 6 pin connector, both were listed with the same part number. If you find one listed on Ebay, look closely at the picture of the back side, if it has a single 1/4 inch tube sticking out at about 33 degrees just to the left of the white connector, its Not the one you want. Needs to look like the attached image.

I got sidetracked adding the trailer tpms and got it working easy with the fantastic thread on here with a pretty much step by step.I can't express enough how great that thread was.I am hopping someone will post a step by step like that eventually so I can figure this cargo camera out.Have to say learning alfaobd opened a lot of possibilities.Do you have the part numbers and camera you used.Thanks
