The only people that could answer that would be someone that installed the side cams in the mirrors. Most people buy mirrors complete. @jhwalker has done it.
when I get time I’ll add this and the part number for the coax from IPMA to the APIM to the documentation. I’ll credit you for this. Awesome info from you and Jessee. He is the man.
You need to load the factory as builds from your factory IPMA and then make the changes on my doc. The IPMA you installed is configured for another truck with more options that it came from.
do you have anything on pin 4? What year is your truck? I’m not sure how you get video signal to the APIM unless it’s not coax and going through the harness.
I pulled up that part number and it appears fine in the pic. Are you sure you got the correct part?

it’s not easy. Did you watch my video? Take a very small flathead, like glasses size, and stick it in the center, gently rotate it. You can also try to go in from the sides. The clip comes directly out, so you don’t want to pry toward the front, sides, or rear direction. Just straight out like...
It wasn’t hard at all. You don’t have to remove anything besides the kick trim pieces. I would strongly advise using my most recent info and pinning out the connector in the passenger footwell like it’s supposed to be from the factory and not following my video and cutting IPMA wiring. It’s a...
Yes you have to get to that connector, that’s how you tell if you have a pre wired connector. And yes it is above the headliner. I have a video on YouTube showing a bit about it. Around the 16 min mark.
Almost every answer to your questions in this thread are in my google drive documentation. You need to read through the install procedure word for word and watch my video. Read the mirror disassembly procedure by @jhwalker to install cameras in your current mirrors. He may be able to help you...
Shoot me a message and we can talk about it! I think I’m going to look into buying the tools to actually pin the wires, but I can easily make one by buying the pre made pin tails ford sells.
Cat 6 should be fine since it’s twisted to prevent Cross talk, but I wouldn’t personally go that route. I built a harness myself. Looking back and now knowing how easy it was to tap into C265, I wish I did that on mine and didn’t go cutting wires like I did. Again I’m OCD. The second truck I did...
My main thing is I’m OCD and I would build it with the ford pin tails, not pinning the wires because I don’t know where to buy the pins or the tool lol. That doesn’t seem like a real professional way to make and sell them.
