Question About Fakra Connectors

[M-Pressive]

I have a 2023 Limited, searched forever for the 68586112aa camera system to use with the DRVM.

I have the wiring installed in the trailer and I am started on mounting the camera to the back of the trailer today.

The wire coming out of the camera is very short, I am hoping the experts here can help guide my next step. I would prefer to not drill holes in the back of the trailer and I can get everything installed without doing so if the Fakra coming out of the camera was a bit longer.

I have attached pictures of the wire and both connectors here. White end goes into the camera lens. Black end goes to the long wire to the front of the trailer.

Can someone point me in the direction of a solution to get a longer cord like this. Can I just buy a longer piece of wire and get the ends off this one to put on that one? I tried to remove the ends and can't seem to figure out how to do so. If that is not possible, can I buy a wire that has the right connectors on it that is longer? I need about a foot total.

Thanks in advance! I have seen some incredible solutions here for the camera systems. Hoping someone has a thought on this.

I thought I found a place to order online but it is asking for the cable type (I am not sure what it is).

I have to have the 90 degree bend in the white section as well.

I have some information in my build thread towards the end of this post where I extended my CHMSL:

4500 Camper/Jeep Hauler Build

We have Rad Rover 6+'s. I am not sure if I can get them between the cab and camper, tight if I do. I too am going to have to figure out my spare tire placement. I saw where a guy had made a lift arm and a boat winch setup for under the bed between the cab and duals.

In short - if you get a Z type Fakra male-female extension (the aqua blue color) that's the universal connector that will connect to both those white and black connections.

Thank you for the reply!

I am interested to see how you installed this. I just installed mine on a cargo trailer I just picked up. Send pics when you are done..

I will get some pics.

Just got back from the first tow with it installed. Worked really well actually. Picture quality was great and the connector I ordered seems good.
