In the process of adding the trailer surround camera system.
Took a bit of research to understand the different cameras and so on so this is my journey, maybe it will help somebody in the future.

I did not have a 12 pin connector on my bumper before starting.
I only had the 4/7 pin connectors on the bumper.

Parts list:
68527709AC - Trailer 360 Camera System
68522624AA - 7/12 pin connector that goes on the bumper
68525632AA - 12 pin harness (part of 5th wheel prep)
68509331AB - Trailer camera gateway module that goes behind the dash

Worked with the dealership to figure out some of this but they also referrenced the forum.
They enabled sales codes AHT and AHX which is what is associated with my truck instead of XN1 and this now shows the "Trailer" option under "Camera".
Before turning on the sales code the Trailer section was not there.
Under AUX there was AUX1 and AUX2 before turning on the sales codes. Now there is only AUX2 available.

I looked behind the dash for the wiring where the trailer camera gateway is going to be installed and the plugs were there and easily accessible and covered with tape.
Pending arrival of the gatway to install.

Underneath the truck I had to look around and see if there were any extra wires or harnesses.
Found a 12 pin connector that resembles the type of connection needed for the cameras. It was on the driver side above the exhaust.
It has a protective cap on it.

In theory, I should be able to take the harness purchased above and plug this in and the camera system should work.
Will update next week.
