Is There a Replacement T-Connector for the Hopkins Smart Backup Camera Part # HM50002  

Published 11/05/2014



Question:

After reviewing many of the T harnesses available on your website Ive determined that the harness included in this kit is the exact one I need, but I dont need the camera, display, etc... Could you give me the model # for the specific T harness included in this kit? Thank you.

Expert Reply:

The Hopkins Smart hitch backup camera part # HM50002 currently doesn't have a T-connector replacement.

You can hardwire a Pollack T-connector part # PK11932 but it hasn't been tested. This connector will plug into your OEM harness and requires no splicing or drilling. Position 1 is left turn/brake, position 2 is ground, position 3 is electric brakes, position 4 is right turn/brake, position 5 is the black wire, position 6 is tail lights and position 7 is reverse lights. See diagram to the right.

I have included a few installation videos for you as well.
