2013 Tailgate Camera Connector

Just picked up a 2013 tailgate from CL. Got the roller swapped and the gate on the truck. Next task is trying to get the camera working with an aftermarket head unit.

I have found a few threads discussing the wiring pin out, but my tailgate has a different connector and I'm beginning to think it might not be factory.

Any ideas what this connector is and if it's stock? I'm tempted to head over to the dealer and crawl under a new SD after hours.

Hopefully the photos turn out okay. It is a small 4 pin connector with a locating divot at the top.

Perfect, that's what I was beginning to think.

Now to see if it's something I can use or not.

I found this site, the connector on their camera looks similar, that's why I started to think it wasn't factory.

I bought a camera from camera-source.com and the connector looks exactly like yours.

Thanks for the help guys.

You're correct, camera-source looks like it's probably the correct vendor. I went ahead and ordered their wiring harness, hopefully it works.
