I recently upgraded to the Tesla Screen and my reverse camera works great but have not figured out how to wire in my Cargo camera. This is for a 2016 Ram 2500 Limited with Auto A/C. Anyone have any pointers on how to get the cargo camera connected?

Is it an OEM cargo camera?

It's a Tesla "style" screen. Chinese manufacturer with very little support in my experience...
yeah, i figured that, but man, the OP did not give much info
in fact, i have never been inside a tesla, so i have zero idea what a tesla style screen is

make and model (even it it were chingchangmeyalamadingdong) would be helpfull

I get it, I know what he's trying to do though. I spent entirely too much time messing around with these style radios...

Yes it is the OEM Cargo Camera. When reverse is engaged the normal backup camera comes on but I just need to find out what wire is the Cargo camera as there is another video input to plug into.
I believe it is one of these wires although I am not sure which one. IN addition, I'm not sure if the PINs on the cargo camera can be converted to an RCA connector like you need but I "think" they can. On my truck, I use the cargo camera input on the radio screen for OTA HDTV. @Mpgrimm2 might know exactly which ones they are for your truck and can possibly even sell you the RCA adapter if he has the parts to make it on hand.
