Can you take a picture of the Amphenol part number. I have Amphenol looking for the connector but can’t seem to find it in their system. Thanks!

I did the same exact thing. Did you ever get a new connector?  I need one.  Did you connect it to RG-58 cable?

Did you find a fix. I could really use a fix to replace connector.

What is this connection called? All I can find online for trailer cameras are RCA and 4 Pin. I am trying to see if I can find an alternative camera set up. Thank you in advance.

That is a female fakra connector.

Would something like this work? I would also love to get an alternative camera setup working solely because the price of their camera is crazy high.

Not sure that would work. 

 

@Rjsires and @TIMAYZ posted earlier that the connector into the bumper appears to be a PAL DVB connector.  See comment at 

 

Of course, the adapter/connector above wouldn’t be waterproof.  I have also seen posts that it's a FAKRA connector. I haven't tried either to see which one it really is. 

 

I’ve tried to look for just the OEM black waterproof connector without any luck. Was also hoping to build my own camera and cable kit.

Has anyone tried to remove the silver coax connector from the black plastic plug/connector that goes into the truck? 

 

I've tried twisting and it doesn't seem to want to come loose. I'm wondering if maybe it needs to be pushed in at the same time as turning to disconnect the two.

I cant seem to get mine off as well. I was able to remove the small C clip but it won't separate the two connectors.

I got a replacement metal connector for the coax and asked them how to remove it from the black connector - they said to use heat. I tried a lighter and it wasn't enough. Haven't gotten out the torch yet. May need a trip to Harbor Freight to get a heat gun. They said that it's held together with locktite.

I was able to get mine apart with a grinder.

HPTulsa, I made the exact same mistake.  Will you please share how you got this fixed?

I recommend the grinder method. Applying heat did not loosen the connector in any way. But, it did manage to melt the plastic inside the black connector and the pin is not centered and is sticking out of the connector when it was flush. 

 

Once I had the coax connector off, I could remove the c-pin and remove the metal connector from the outer black plastic holder. There are no part numbers or anything to identify this piece. 

 

Going to try heat again and seeing if I could push that pin back into place...

[ShogunKC]

I was able to get the pin in the connector reset back to the correct position. Just applied a little heat and used a wire to push it back and held it there while the connector cooled off.
