Its either in the d.s. or p.s. footwell area... Ill look it up in my install booklet, next chance I get.

You could have not even bought the cable, if you pull off the little red clip, the whole yellow adapter will separate and expose the round connection to plug in.

I know it's only $20 and it's done but maybe others that research this will see this and save them some money.

I think it's down the passenger side, you can follow the cable from the bottom of the tailgate.

My rear camera runs to a connector near the ebrake. It is coax in the harness and splits out near the connector. I just connected in parallel with it and it works great.

Great tip. I saw what you were saying when I did my install today.

The only thing I have left is to verify the backup camera signal wires on my 2013

And here's the finished product.

Hahaha. Luckily when I know wife will scream about money, I'll be outside cleaning and maintaining the 57mm anti tailgate apparatus, and it doesn't usually escalate (joking btw)
