What is this trailer camera connection?

[Schulz081]

2025 1500 Laramie. There's a trailer cam hookup that I dont recognize. I dont know what type of connection plugs into this. Its not 4 pin, 7 or 12. See photos. Any help is appreciated!

Did they toss a bag with adapters in your glove box? One might fit.

No adapter

Digital Tow Mode camera.

It's displayed on the DRVM.

The 12-pin is trailer surround/Aux2(analog) and displays on the UC screen.

I'm pretty sure at this point, both of those ports are totally useless for the 2025.

I believe the newest Trailer Surround (4-camera) kit works, but the Digital Tow Mode camera wasn't made available AFAIK for either HD or 1500.

Trailer 360° Surround View Kit - 82216421AB-001 (old PN) & 68527709AC (new PN)

Visionworks sells a single camera wireless kit for the 12-pin. Just keep in mind the UC displays shut off on forward motion after 8 seconds above 12MPH. So it's good for backing, but not so much for observation. Naviks has some box solutions for disabling that, as well as Tazer DT I believe.

There's also a possibility that the 12-pin surround isn't enabled in the BCM (an issue on some HD trucks) and without a working AlfaOBD or JScan on the 25's, that could be a challenge. If the surround and/or AUX2 camera buttons show up and show a blue screen, they're active.

I've seen the $1600 12-pin surround view camera set up from Mopar, but it still doesn't explain that 1 port referenced in my picture. Im not finding anything about what type of connection that is, how to use it, or if there are compatible cameras.

I believe it’s a Fakra connection. Look at the

2025 RAM trailer camera thread for more info.​

Again, this is a feed to the Digital Rear View Mirror, not the center Uconnect screen. The idea is that you put a wired camera on the back of your trailer, and your DRVM now shows what’s behind you using that camera instead of the normal one the truck. I don’t know of anyone that’s managed to get this work yet.

I told you what it is. Digital Tow Mode camera that displays on the DRVM.

It's a (coax) type connector. The camera cables are all fakra connectors, these bumper connecters are all proprietary.

Here's the old version, I don't think anyone's seen the 2025 version since it has changed.

Ah I see, Thank you! Glad RAM could make it easy and use common connectors
