I replaced my tailgate with a 5th wheel tailgate but I really miss the rear view camera integrated in the 360 video. I've reversed engineered the two connectors on the original tailgate and have come to the conclusion that the video and power are integrated together in the coax connector as this is the
pinout I've come up with on the 12 pin connector C4003.

1) Tailgate Release Actuator
2) Tailgate Release
3) Antenna
4) No connection
5) Tailgate Ajar
6) No connection
7) Trailer Assist Light
8) No connection
9) Antenna
10) Tailgate Lock Actuator
11) Tailgate Lock Actuator
12) Ground

This does not leave any pins for powering the rear view camera. Does anyone have any news on connecting a camera into the 360 video coax
connector ?

 

I believe the small connector is the camera connector and it does appear to be a coaxial wire. I too would like to have a camera on the fifth wheel tailgate. I imagine it would be possible to buy a tailgate camera from Ford and the wire connectors but I am concerned about the computer's ability to stitch together an accurate image with the camera located on the fifth wheel tailgate lower than the original position.
