I just finished installing my own version of the trailer camera. From the rear of my trailer, I ran Siamese cable, which is a RG6 cable and 18AWG power wires molded together. Siamese cable is commonly used in CCTV applications. The camera I used is a custom build. I took an inexpensive rear view camera and gutted it to get the housing. Then I installed a camera module that is 1080p with a Sony backlit sensor. The trailer connector was taken from a Ford trailer harness that I bought. The trailer side connector is the exact mate to the bumper connector on the truck. I think the picture will show that this camera setup is far superior to the junk that RAM supplies for over 500 bucks. Of course, this is a picture of a picture, so it is far better in real life.

I know this post is 3 years old, but I hope you're still around. Do you know where you found the pinout for the 12-pin connector on the truck? I would love to do something similar with a better camera and the Ford cable, but I can't find anywhere that shows what pins on the truck are the video.

Thank you! Where did you find this? It looks like a video?

I don't remember now. I picked it up 2 years ago when I did something similar. Tapped into the cable and rand everything to a round 6 trailer connector. Works like a charm.

This could help.

Pinouts, connector info to adapter the Ford 12-pin harness.

Sheet1 @Jimmy07 or @Phil T Do either of you have a source for the pins and/or remote side plugs that come on the Ford 12-pin wiring harness? I intend to de-pin and move the TTPMS wires to the AUX2 camera pin locations, and could cut off the Ford camera and TPMS connectors and replace with gene...

I gave up on the dang trailer camera. I was stoked back in ‘19 when I got the truck with the 12pin but it seems like a big cluster to try and get useable
