There is an extension cable you can buy, then swap the in bed 7 pin with the one in the bumper. Now you have the 7 pin and flat 4 in the bumper, and 7 pin and video connection in the bed. Just saw a guy has a YouTube on it with part number. “Burning rubber” channel.

I wish I would have seen this thread sooner. I just installed my new camera several days ago for use with my new 3500 GMC dually and today was the maiden voyage. I tested the length of the camera wire making a sharp right hand turn and I had plenty of slack. Well, my bad because apparently I didn't leave enough slack for a tight left hand turn and I ripped the plug apart this afternoon. Thank you for the link to the amazon coax ends, much cheaper than the ends on ebay. I am hoping I can cancel the ebay plug I ordered, but I also ordered the amazon ends. I really like the camera, very clear and stable. Kind of pricey though and why on earth did GM put the camera plugs in the bumper and a 4 pin inside the box?

Here was my journey. Much more $ when I put it all together, and most of it could have been avoided. Oh well.....
Coax cables to swap Bumper/Bed 7 Pin connectors:

$33.89 SKU: PE3C2779-36

Black FAKRA Jack to FAKRA Plug Low Loss Cable 36 Inch Length Using LMR-100 Coax
Extend Camera Coax:
I needed to do this to extend the damaged camera connector up thru the 5th wheel interior so it come out near the pin.

$18.91 Amphenol CO-058TNCMFRP-015 Black RG58 RP-TNC Coaxial Extension Cable, Male to Female, 15'
Coax repair crimper: $25

Note this comes with connectors, but none of them are the correct ones. I am not making any recommendation for this tool.
Replacement connector: $16.98 (10pcs)

A few notes: When replacing a damaged connector on the camera, it is glued and you need to use a heat gun/hair dryer to loosen. There was a good youtube on this.
Take a good look at the coax connectors you think you need. BNC/TNC & male/Female get confusing.Ron & Kim

I drilled a new hole back a few inches from the pin. That got me into an open chamber that goes to the front basement. Then I ran a wire backward to the basement (where I already had previously ran the coax) with the extended cable I mentioned above.
I really want to like the camera, but I spent more time installing than I ever spend using. lol.Ron & Kim
