I am working on a stereo install for a 2012 Ram 1500. The stock stereo had 3 connectors, 2-22 pin and a 10 pin going into the stereo. It appears as though it was a C1, C2, and C3. I have found the schematics online but the wire colors don't fully match up. I am trying to determine what wires would go to the reverse input +12v, illumination input +12v, rear camera power +12v, accessory +12v, and swc input. I have included pictures of the 3 connectors i the truck and their wires. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Read through the how to install 4c radio thread in the 4th gen forum, lots of wiring discussion there. Also, depending on the radio you are installing you may need a wiring harness. M²Mods in vendor section builds them and can help you after purchase with install questions.

Good luck.

You can look up the connectors and wire pinouts here


Put in your year and model, 1500's are DS, you can then filter by radio and it will show all connectors.

His white only has the backup camera wiring
