Whoa. Sorry, No sales intent was implied in my previous question. Should have worded better. I had read in past when you were attempting to match jeepguy setup just missed the update that you were successful. That's awesome. I just may have to get with you about helping me with that part of the wire setup.

I'm glad to help. You will need to physically check to verify what wiring you do or don't have at the 4 connector locations.
Like Loveracing1988, MTGTS, and DannyMk2 you may not be missing the entire harness and just need a segment. Or you could get lucky like cptwing and just need the stuff in the tailgate.
And like you, I actually preferred jeepguy's setup (what's in my truck) over the Mopar kit.

Someone try to help me understand where this
Is being installed ?
No tapping into the BCM C-5 ? Do you have the Active gridlines with this harness ?
I'm assuming you still need to install the camera , handle , tailgate harness , long body harness and tap into power @ the PDC ...

Here's a different style of schematic from MTGTS and LoveRacing1988's truck that may help...
2014 Ram 2500 MTGTS Existing Camera Wiring - Partial for Forum.png
DannyMk2 has the wires from the i550 tailgate to the c322 at the Left Frt Wheel, see post 694.
He instead has the opposite scenario of LoveRacing1988 where he is missing the last segment from the Inline-Body/IP near the brake (old i315) to the back of the radio.
Since Danny has crawled under his truck a few times, posted good pictures of all the connectors and ohmed out the harness segments he has, it looks like he just needs...
- the 3 wire harness to the radio I made
- camera/tailgate handle
- camera/ lock jumper harness in the tailgate.
The existing wiring should already be pulling in the power, CBC3, etc for the i550 connector at the tailgate (spare tire).

2012 RAM 1500, OEM backup camera with aftermarket radio?
All,
two week lurker and first time poster here. I've been browsing all neat tips and tricks on backup cameras but found nothing on the 2012 models. I have the bone stock RES head unit, no navi, no cam. Looking to fit the OEM backup camera and replace the head unit with an aftermarket one. Was told by Crutchfield that there is no adapter that works with oem camera and non-oem radio.
-Anyone that knows of someone who has made this work on a 2012 MY?
-If installing non-oem head unit with navi, where do you put the antenna?
Much obliged Y'all //solk

To keep from going off track with this thread (2013+ oem radio/oem camera), please create a separate thread so you can get specific feedback on all the available radio/camera options that I'm sure folks have already done with their 2019-2012 4th gen trucks (the electrical is different from 2013+).
A quick few things that may help so you don't feel kicked to the curb here...
There is an official dodge Ram tailgate camera kit for the factory radio you have. See www.allmoparparts.com or contact them via the vendor section within RamForum (Benny).
If you go with an aftermarket radio, you might as well get one of the aftermarket tailgate handle kits with an RCA/composite video feed that will be more compatible with an aftermarket radio.
There may be an interface solution from Crux that will help with your aftermarket radio interface to the truck's controls (or from PAC, Scosche, etc), but again you will get better feedback from a dedicated thread for your particular goals.

Thanks Mpgrimm, I'll line up the ducks and find the right thread. Sorry, didn't see the 2013+ delimitation. Appreciate the input!

Does anybody know what the OR/DB wire from the BCM goes to? It looks like it goes to SP4649 and then to I220. I know I don't need the I220 connection because that goes to the factory backup cam (I'm installing the kit). I'm wondering what is on the other side of that splice, though. Getting the connector out and apart was hassle enough. Tapping the existing wire is going to be a nightmare, so I'd prefer to just replace it if it doesn't go to anything I need.

I've wondered this myself ...
I know this only provides the active gridlines because I ran my oem BU Cam kit for a while without the BCM c-5-45 or/DB wire connected at all .
The camera worked great just no gridlines.
With this said I'm thinking it is connected to the clockspring to provide the active gridlines?
I believe you sir have replaced your clockspring for the heated wheel ?
Did you notice any wires that you wer unsure of their operations then ?
The clockspring reports the steering angle to the truck at all times on the CAN bus. The wire to the camera is a LIN bus that provides certain information like whether the truck is in reverse along with the steering angle info for the grid lines. I just don't know what other modules are daisy chained off that same bus connection. Seeing as my truck is pretty light option-wise and it sounds like some don't even have that pin populated, I'm probably OK to just tape it back. I'm not sure how confident I am in that, though.

It also goes to the chmsl camera (3rd brake light).
Here's the quote/link from past 51. See the schematic...

Guess what I started on ... the chassis segment of the factory camera harness like Jeepguy would have made.
C322 (Left Frt Wheelwell end)
Alas my pn info on the schematic was not correct and I have to re-order the correct pins (I hope) for the i550 end .

Finished it. Crimped, soldered, sealing plugs, wire loom, and wrapped in 3m Electrical tape.Guess what I started on ... the chassis segment of the factory camera harness like Jeepguy would have made.

I'll hold on to this for the next person that's only missing this segment of the factory harness.

Sweet! I was hoping I was only missing that, but I had nothing between the tailgate connector and the radio.

See posts 228-231, you need to check all 4 connectors
http://www.ramforum.com/showthread.php?p=1085524
Also for see post 694-670 or so (more of the same)
http://www.ramforum.com/showthread.php?p=1273045
PS: If you want, pm me and we can talk via phone sometime this weekend (I work 3rd shift EST) to clear up any questions so you can better decide what you want to do and know what to check.

Problem, After cutting the Orange and Dark Blue wire I've lost the connector some how. Any idea how I can remedy this issue?
What happens if I try to drive the vehicle without that connector hooked up?
Thanks in advance!
