TIMAYZ is absolutely correct!! It is an IEC PAL DVB European connector. You can buy adapters off Amazon to adapt the plug on the bumper connection to either F style or BNC, search amazon. I confirmed this today and it fits perfect with this adapter :

I could not get a PAL connector to fit (male PAL to the Auxiliary Camera Connector).  A male PAL connector measures 9.3 mm on the outside and the Auxiliary Camera Connector measures 8.7 mm on the inside. I could force the PAL connector into the Camera Connector, but it doesn't seat all the way. 

 

I think that the Auxiliary Camera Connector that goes into the truck is a Reverse Polarity TNC (TNC-RP or RP-TNC) connector but customized without the screw-on outer shield. The plastic outer connector replaces the screw-on shield so that you can easily push/pull the connector from the truck connector.

OK, so I have a 2020 Chevy 3500HD.  I do not like having to string a cable from the rear of my 34' trailer to use the camera option.  From my understanding, the cable has a DC bias for the camera with

RUNNING THE CABLE INFO

When running the camera cable if you remove the 2 Torque Screws on the camera unit itself the housing splits and you can unplug the cable from the actual camera then you only need to drill a 1/2 inch hole for the cable. Hope this helps

I have seen three different types of connectors listed here and all three posters claim they verified that they fit. All three look completely different from one another and none of them look like the factory end. Which one is correct? 

 F Female Jack RF Coax?

TNC-RP or RP-TNC?

Fakra Z?

Or do any of them even work?

Zombie topic, I know. The orange connector that feeds the trailer camera plug plate is a FAKRA Type M female connector. So, a FAKRA Type M (orange) male with RG58 coax extension ending in a FAKRA Type A (black) female plug will connect directly to the camera module (85573256 used in 2024's for example). It's a locking connection at both ends but unsure how waterproof. Probably good if GM uses behind the bumper tho.

I looked under my truck today.

The camera cable is RG-58, 50 ohm coax.

If I had damage to the connector I would just replace it with a compression F connector. Direct TV uses these outdoors in all US climate zones.

Put in a splitter and you can have jacks for your 5th wheel and on your bumper. I would cut off the camera plug and replace wi a F connector as well.

After looking again, on the above hitch receptacle, the invisible trailer side is a A code FAKRA and the accessory side is the M code FAKRA connector.

Hello All,

do you know if the camera input is analog or digital camera? I prefer to buy after market camera since the GM cameras $350+ and doesn't support night vision.

Not sure if you were able to get this resolved already but I spoke with Paul at Max-Gains Systems, Inc out in Georgia and he was very knowledgeable. I had a similar issue with the main coaxial cable connector having to be replaced and he suggested buying these 3 pieces to create a new piece which will allow you to connect the coaxial cable end and the auxiliary connector near the trucks 7 pin so you can utilize your trailer’s camera/invisible camera set-up. I just ordered the parts today and he said this would solve my issue, so I’m taking his word and giving it a shot once those pieces come in. He also suggested using electrical tape once all those 3 pieces are connected together, so it looks like one solid piece.  Hopefully this helps out anyone out there experiencing a similar issue.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.

      Oil Consumption

      By diyer2 · Posted

      I have changed oil and filter for years by starting a cold engine to warm oil up, let it run 5-10 minutes depending on temperature. Drain until it starts dripping, refill with quantity from owners manual or get it close.

      Fluid Change Questions

      I changed the factory fill oil in the rear diff of my truck for the first time today and the miles is close to 9000 on the truck. There was a lot of fines on the magnet, a very thick layer but working it through my fingers it all felt like mush and as most know it appears like graphite, so no surprise chunks anyway. Certainly was time to do it from my thinking and could have been done sooner but the oil didn't look awful but sure wasn't new looking and never expected it to either. I did use some solvent to help me clean out the bottom area of the axle housing, just get any other stuff settled at the bottom washed and wiped out of the housing for the bit of effort it takes. I used Amsoil Severe Gear 75W90 in the easy packs to try out what they are like and I used up 4 packs and didn't spill much at all in the process but did take all four of the packs and go to the work bench and emptied them into a measuring container and there certainly was some in them that added up to something, then poured that into one of the easy packs and squirted in what I could get out of it. I would say the level is within 1/8th of an inch of being level with the threads at the fill plug so just the perfect amount. Once again, more than what GM says the fill volume is but computes with what others are adding to their rear diffs as well.
