2025 RAM trailer camera

[Kilroy]

If you just want a single camera, Infotainment makes a 12-pin wireless setup.

I looked and can't seem to find this. If I could source the connectors I am pretty handy I could make a cable up if I knew what connectors I needed.

Thanks for this!, I was just going to repurpose the connector that came with that camera kit, then if the option becomes available to use the complete system I can redo the connector setup. I really just want to have one camera for the rear of the trailer so I can see behind me.

Are there any options that I can connect to the digital rearview mirror that would be ideal, but not having to spend $1000+ to get that done.

DRVM cameras are digital and they use proprietary protocols so not an option to go aftermarket.

We did go down the rabbit hole for a while trying to source the OEM equivalent kits but it didn't pan out.

I can't find the post now and nothing on their site. You'll probably have to reach out to @Infotainment if you're interested.

I have said this before but it can be said again, I am thankful for this group! So many knowledgeable people with time and talent to help others. Thank you!

NOT MY INFO, It is off the hdrams.com page.

I am hoping someone can confirm the pinouts are the same on the '25s

Pin 1 (Red) is common power (Aux #1, Aux #2)
Pin 2 CAN BHC for the surround view camera processor
Pin 3 CAN BHC for the surround view camera processor
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



ADDED INFO FROM JIMMY07 -- Pins 2 and 3 are CAN BH for the surround view camera processor. This pinout is the same on the 2025’s.

Someone posted a while back about not knowing if they had the 12/1 wiring. This is a little in from the rocker panel where the cab/bed split is under the truck, drivers side on the frame rail. The top wire is the Fakra "1" wire, the bottom is the "12" wiring. Middle is body/bed wiring. Hopefully this helps. Truck is a 25 Limited with just about all the options.

Okay so, if I wire up a cable to fit these connections to the cameras I have (I have the 360 trailer cam setup, that by the way does not work correctly on tithe 25 models), I should be able to make at least two cameras work off the 12 pin connection. Question is are they digital or analog connections?

Those cameras are digital, and specifically only work with the trailer surround camera processor.
The camera pins on the 12 pin are analog.

But they will not work on that are digital camera input for the DRVM?

No. DRVM uses a different proprietary digital camera.

Dammit!!

New member, first modern truck (I have a '64 Chevy C10 restomod). Truck is a '25 Rebel with trailer tow, the add on Rebel group, and a few other things--purchased off the lot. I only have a rear backup camera on U-Connect, but I clearly have at least the camera hardware in the mirrors and front grill. I tried my best to understand the discussion--it sounds like both Ram and at least one aftermarket company are trying to figure out the new '25 OS, and that there may be a chance soon-ish to be able to activate those other cameras? Just checking to see if I have that correct and thank you.

This might be confusing and maybe someone else can explain more simply....
There is a "surround view camera system" that is just for the truck. It stitches together cameras on the front grille, the side mirrors, and the rear. If you have this system on your window sticker, or in the build sheet, it should work. Uconnect should show different camera views on the center screen, as well as a top-down view of all cameras together.
The cameras that can be added to a trailer are a completely different subject, and the subject of this thread. There are three versions of this, which are described in this thread and others: 1. Aux1 & Aux2 (displayed in center Uconnect screen), 2. Trailer surround system (also displayed in Uconnect center screen), and 3. A single remote trailer camera that will display in the digital rear view mirror. Due to the new electrical architecture of the 2025, these don't seem to be working as they did in the prior models.
I think you're asking about the surround view on just the truck, but if you're asking something else, maybe this info can help you narrow down your question. We'll help if we can!

This concerns the surround view system--it is not listed on my option sheet, and I do not show any camera options other than the rear camera on Uconnect. But the hardware is there. The question is can it be enabled (even for a cost)? Happy to start a new thread if you think that would be best. And THANK YOU for the explanation.

But I am about to purchase a camping trailer (an almost retired present to myself) and care about that solution as well.

@Jimmy07 is likely one of your best bets for an answer on enabling it. I'm going to say that I don't think it's something you'll be able to do soon.... but Jimmy can lay it out for you.
