Why Does Furrion Vision S Camera Kit Require Adapter for Newer Chevy Truck

Question:

For the FOS43TASF camera, in your video you state that there could be an issue with my 2024 Chevrolet 2500HD custom. Could you explain more and what I’ll need extra? I have a 7 plug on my truck, so confused!

For the newer GM trucks like your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 you do need to use the Furrion GM adapter part # FR87PR with the Furrion Observation Vision S systems like the part # FOS43TASF that you referenced. This is the adapter that the video you mentioned was referencing.

The reason is that the running light circuit of your trailer wiring is what powers the camera but GM doesn't have enough power on the running light circuit to power the camera. So this adapter helps draw power from the 12 volt accessory circuit as well to solve this problem.
