Are you looking for the cable, the backing plate, or the combined 12/7 pin receptacle (or all?)
I think he wants the whole thing, i just cant find a tag or number not attached to a cable

Housing: 68453200AA
12-pin frame to bed cable: 68445096AB
12-pin frame to bumper cable: 68445095AB
12/7-pin receptacle: 68014986AB

I found several threads here on these, search the part numbers. ;)

Last two would be part of the 2019 XFQ wiring kit. still no google hits on that bed 12-pin cable. Probably have to build one. Maybe with a 2020 VIN with factory XFQ, a parts guy could find it.

Here's the 2019 cutout: (from another thread. It looks like the larger bed indentation is the same, just 4 bolts for the 2020 housing.

I used a piece of 1/8 aluminum plate and cut out the shape for the 7 x 12 plug to fit in. I had to cut the bed to fit. I was then able to put the 7 x 4 plug back in the bumper and now when i pull the boat trailer I don't have to use the 7 x 4 adaptor.1600995349833.png

you have to cut the hole in the bed on a 2019 for the 7 x 12 plug . the 2020 plug and housing will not just bolt in

If anyone has the 12pin plug there are many cameras that can be used. I just can't find the plug.

With the wireless cameras such as Voyager being perfected, hard-wiring through a trailer seems old-school. FCA needs to figure out how to have vehicle receive wireless signals from already available wireless cameras. Even having a dash-mounted monitor is not the worst thing in the world. My $350 Voyager WVOS541 system (camera & color monitor) gives me a fantastic view of what is going on behind the trailer while towing, including the lanes to the right and left of the trailer.

Disappointing that some of our FCA manufactured options like Trailer TPMS and the Trailer Cam are substandard in some way or fashion forcing us to get after-market replacements. By the time we get all these after-market replacements mounted on our dashes, we'll be lucky not to be pulled over for too many windshield obstructions. ;)

Great thanks. Is there a wiring schematic to show what each pin is for on the ram? im assuming ican just move the pins around to meet my needs. I just need to know what the pin configuration is for the ram bed plug

One of these days someone (maybe me) is going to have to do the definitive Aux Trailer Camera post with part numbers, pinouts, etc.

For now, I haven't finished mapping out or re-pinning the Ford cable to record all that's needed, and the info is scattered over several threads.

I believe it was @Jimmy07 that posted this: (but Aux #2 needed validation)

As matter of fact, on a '20, here are the pin assignments: of the 12-pin connector:

Pin 1 (Red) is common power (Aux #1, Aux #2)
Pin 2 (Open)
Pin 3 (Open)
Pin 4 (Open)
Pin 5 (Open)
Pin 6 (Black) is common ground (Aux #1, Aux #2),
Pin 7 (Brown) is Aux Camera #2
Pin 8 (Grey) is Aux Camera #1 Shield
Pin 9 (Green) is Aux Camera #1 Signal
Pin 10 (White) is Aux Camera #1 Return
Pin 11 (Blue) is Aux Camera #2
Pin 12 (Yellow) is Aux Camera #2

Great thanks. So it looks like the ram plug is for 5 wires. Most of the 3rd party camreas are 4 wire. can you use a 4 wire camera and just not use the shield pin? Or do we have to find a camera that utilizes 5 wires?

I'm not even sure where that shield pin terminates.

You know more about video than most, should it just be tied to ground on the truck (it is not per my meter), or does it float? Or terminate at the radio?

It goes all the way up to the left side of the dash. Shield is usually at ground so I suspect it just ends up in the uconnect somewhere.

Shield terminates at pin 23 on the big connector plugged into the radio module.

Thanks,

Did you ever confirm the 2020 AUX2 connections? I think Phil was also looking for where those terminated at the radio end so he could wire up AUX2?
