Do you have more than one pair of polarized sunglasses? Try another pair. The HUD works as a reflection off the windshield so most good polarized lenses should significantly dim the display. A good test is take the glasses off and hold them in front of your eyes and rotate them. The HUD image should get brighter and darker. If the image stays the same the sunglasses lenses aren’t really polarized. Sorry OP, I don’t have an answer for your question but hope you have it sorted out by now.

Auxiliary Accessory Trailer Camera
kf9yr replied to Scott Perkins's topic in 2020+ Silverado HD & Sierra HD
I was able to purchase the Equinox camera and a Fakra cable. When I plug it in the truck recognizes there is a trailer camera plugged in but the video is just black. I’ve tried both the interior camera port and the exterior camera port. Not sure if this is a camera incompatibility but I will search if there could be a fuse problem.

I went from a 16 2500 Denali to a 20 2500 AT4 and I kept the same drop hitch. I just remembered that means the 2020 must be a couple of inches higher as I had drop shackles on my 2016 and stock ride height on my 2020. I am picky about having my trailer(s) level and the 8 inch drop works well with my utility trailer. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

I haven’t sent a CEL using an iDash on my 2020 Duramax with around 25,000 miles. I did get a notice on the infotainment screen that a software upgrade was available. I selected Yes and the update failed. I tried the update 3 different days and it failed each time. This morning I unplugged the iDash before updating and it installed the update without an error. I plugged the iDash back in and both the iDash and the truck have been working fine. Maybe the truck checks if something is plugged in the OBDII port before updating?

Auxiliary Accessory Trailer Camera

Have you had any luck with this camera? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro -
The blinky LED thing is your alarm system. It pulses the lights and checks the amperage. If it doesn’t sense the trailer lights the alarm goes off. In the setup menu system for your trailer I think there is a setting to turn off the alarm... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Single Gauge Mount (52mm Vent or Pillar)
kf9yr replied to WinterSpringsSierra's topic in 2020+ Silverado HD & Sierra HD
I have the single mount. The cable runs inside the mount. No cable visible. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro -
I haven’t had a CEL with my iDash. I have noticed that my monthly OnStar report now says communication has been blocked by an after market device plugged in the OBD2 port. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Brakes Squeaking @ 10K
kf9yr replied to LarryM's topic in 2020 Silverado HD & Sierra HD Troubleshooting
Hi, I looked up my invoice. The new pad part numbers are: 84702753 (S) Pad Kit 84571661 (S) Pad Kit I have a long gravel driveway and my brakes will still squeal for the first stop or two but it’s much better than previously. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro -
Wiring bumper led lights to bed cargo lights?
kf9yr replied to Dhami79's topic in 2020 Silverado HD & Sierra HD Mods
Look at sealberta’s idea. Use a relay to power your lights switched with the signal from the cargo lights but have the power come from the battery or fuse box. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro -
Need advice, opinion and thoughts on a tonneau cover
kf9yr replied to nomadicdogg's topic in 2020+ Silverado HD & Sierra HD
I have the Diamondback. I really like it and would buy another. I also have a Slide-Master aluminum bed slide that makes access to the bed easy. I did have a Paragon cover in the past. It was a multi-fold cover made of aluminum that was quick to remove, locked and could accommodate a gooseneck. The drawbacks were that you could not put anything heavy on it and you needed to be careful what you put in the front of the bed if you didn’t have a bed slide drawer as anything tall in the front of the bed blocks the Paragon from opening. All my trailers are bumper-pulls so I don’t need the gooseneck... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro -
Trailer TPMS sensors loose signal
kf9yr replied to Andrew Best's topic in 2020 Silverado HD & Sierra HD Troubleshooting
Mine always loses the signal after the trailers sit for a few days. After I hook up the trailer and drive for 1/2-1 mile they reconnect. I’m pretty sure the TPMS sensors go to sleep when they haven’t moved for a while. If they didn’t the battery life would be pretty short. This is also a good reason to drive the trailer around for a couple of miles before trying to pair the sensors to the truck. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro -
Brakes Squeaking @ 10K
kf9yr replied to LarryM's topic in 2020 Silverado HD & Sierra HD Troubleshooting
The new pads are not squeaking for me. I have put about 600 miles on them so far. A lot of the miles have been towing and I apply more pressure to stop (the noise seemed to be worse with slow easy stops for me). Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
