Thanks for the model of the plug. Could you provide the .stp? My F360 instance wont take a .ipt as it is the Personal version of F360. I was able to design a camera housing but nothing for cable yet as i dont have my order in quite yet. Also the attached Camera housing will fit the camera perfect with a well calibrated printer. The only thing not tested is having the cable plugged into the camera and exiting the housing. Feel free to print it up and test if you like. GMC Camera Housing Tilt v11.zip

Yep that all makes sense to me. I will measure it and see where i am at. I did see the 15 meters on the TI specs. That is why i got worried as i assume the deserializer is closer to the front of the truck. I have a long box too which would take away from the 15 meters. The line that would have a switcher would be much shorter. Which from what I am finding won't be possible at a reasonable cost. The longest run cable will be the dedicated Exterior Camera feed. If run into a problem with the length i will look into some kind of inline booster.

Okay yeah I will look into that as well. Do you know if i would have an issue with my exterior camera with a cable length of 50-55 ft? I am wondering if the signal can make it that far? My trailer is a Gooseneck with a total length of 45 ft. I will measure the cable route planned to get an exact length but 50-55ft is my estimate.

Okay that was my other thought that it was not analog. Thanks for the information. More research will be done on the TI FPD Link III to see if something can be bought to have 2 inputs with 1 output. Luckily i have not bought or ran anything yet as i just found this thread. I will make sure to purchase 50ohm RG316 cable with proper ends. At the end of the day, if i cant have two interior cameras it is not the end of the world. I will at least have 1 interior and 1 exterior with this solution. Thanks for the additional information!

This is fantastic! Awesome write up. I will be doing this soon. One thing I would like to try is adding an analog video switcher such as this. The reason is so I could have the exterior rear trailer cam and the 2 interior, cams and switch the source accordingly for the interior cams in the single interior cam port on the bumper. Of course I would need the DVB-TV to RCA for the splitter. One reason I think this might not work is the GM cameras seem to get power and video line all on the single DVB-T to Fakra A cable. If i were to add a splitter inline it may kill the feed entirely as the power might not pass through as expected. None the less, the switcher is cheap enough and so would the adapter cables to test. On another not I plan to design a 3d Printed mount for the cameras. I can provide the .stl files once I figure it all out. Again thanks for the write up.

Thanks so much for the recommendation and pictures. I will definitely look into these sense they are available in stock size and look good. How do they perform in the mud? Do they hum on the highway?

I have a 2021 3500 Denali DRW and am sick and tired of my truck getting stuck in the grass with a little mud. Looking for tire that is still load E and will last a good amount on the highway. Still tow a big horse tailer so keeping stock items is best. I am not looking to change the wheels from stock and not looking to lift my truck. What brand tire and size fits that is a little bigger or same size? I am not opposed to a spacer in the rear or even a leveling kit to fit a tire that meets my needs. TIA.
