Can't wait to see what comes from this before I continue my project of multi cameras.

Fingers crossed.
How do you have your camera wired?

Here is a pic of the screen with the camera pointed at the gear position. Sorry really crappy cam lol




Only other thing I can think of is that it still thinks my factory camera is working but using the aftermarket signal. Next time I will try with the tailgate connector removed

It's wired to the screen using an RCA jumper to the camera pins and tapped into the reverse wire in the passenger kick panel. I don't think I even have the delay option I'll have to check but I loosely remember when I would go into drive the screen said camera source not found.

I have this wired to a 12 volt constant for testing so my guess is if you were to change to an ignition on source it may allow the delay image.

You have the 4.2" screen right? before I upgraded my parents taurus to 8" screen theirs said the same as I had tapped the reverse lights.

Yup the 4.2. My concern with a 12v constant would be will it shorten the life of the camera?

If not then I think I'll make a change and get it there cause I'd like the delay and it'll open up my ability to add other cameras to the same circuit

I have a wireless transmitter type setup.

Just a cheapy, but it works well enough for backing up the trailer. Needs a 12V source and that's about it.

Had it on my last truck and not setup in this one yet. Last one I had it high up in the back of the cab and on the rear roof of the trailer. Worked well enough for me.

Anyone consider the SuperDuty version of the camera? It would be great if there was someway to modify the harness system and install it on our trucks.

I'm waking this up for help with a part numer.

Does anyone know the part number for a single terminal for the C512A connector on the camera control module?

I've got a 2016 XLT with factory Pro Trailer Backup Assist. I want to add an extra rear-facing camera to display on tbe 8" OEM display, to mount on the back of my enclosed racing trailer to assist with backing.

Since I already have a GL3T-19H423-BC IPMB connected with a C512A connector, I am thinking that all I need to do is swap it for a GL3T-19H423-AD module, swap the hazard light switch for the split switch with the 360 button, and route my new camera(s) in via the C512B connector.

My factory C512A connector is fully populated, except for the ground on pin 6. So, I need a little help finding a terminal wire for the C512A connector. Thanks in advance.....
