I had a BlackVue DR590 2-CH in my 2018 Silverado 1500 but wanted a different dash cam that had an inside view so I decided on the Garmin Tandem, but did not like the mount to the windshield. I wanted to mount from my rear view mirror, but afaik they do not offer that option so I had to piece a few parts together. I hardwired it and used F22 (heated steering wheel) for accessory and F3 (garage door opener) for battery using pigtail fuse. I would like to use F23 MISC R/C for accessory but not sure if it would work. It does not have power until accessory/run but unsure if the dash cam would draw/leech any power so chime in if I can use it. To mount to the rear view you need to buy two dash cam mounting kits. One to mount to the rear view stalk, and another to source the ball that mounts to the Garmin because where you pop the ball in it is smaller than any kits I could find. I just routed the cable up above through the headliner and down the pillar (I did not remove) and around the passenger dash down towards the passenger fuse panel. It was very easy to do it that way, instead of pulling the trim off. You only see a short section of wire on the dash, but it is barely noticeable. Here is the kit that allows you to mount the dash cam to the rear view mount: https://amzn.to/3xZiaXP Here is the rear view stalk mount kit: https://amzn.to/3w2igfL Garmin Tandem dash cam: https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/671095 Parking mode/hard wire kit: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B06XTBPYS2?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

Did you hard wire the dash cam? I did on my 2018 1500 but traded that for a 3500 last month. I can figure it out just seeing if someone else has. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

The dealer called back a little later to tell me that it doesn't have the 4" black- round assist steps (RVS) because they are on back-order. He said they will come in at a later date but does not know when. This probably explains why I noticed a build code of 2030, maybe he took them off to speed up the process LOL. I do not mind and will be pulling a full build with the VIN from GM to see all the build codes just to double check, and I will make sure to have something in writing as well. I am just glad it did not take too much time from start to finish and have it before camping season starts up. I will be picking her up this Friday. Maybe some of you who have been waiting for a long time could ask your dealer to do this as well if b/o parts are part of the problem? Just a thought.

Mine is arriving today! Order placed week of 2/08. Will probably pick up this Friday so excited. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Order was placed last week and dealer today said it is currently at 2030 which means when next allocation shows up they will pull the order. He is guessing 7-10 days then a week after that will get a build date. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I went to the dealer this weekend and had them type up my order for a 3500 HD CCLB. Sales guy said he can place orders on Tuesday and Thursday. I guess I will find out soon enough. I was told 6-10 weeks. This was on 2/6/21. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I've got one in my '18. Works as advertised. Only thing is occasionally I have to unplug for a couple of key cycles as it will throw a code but is very infrequent. The engine light clears on own.

Finally some nice weather knocked this project out in about 3 hours. Shout out to Phil and his wiring harness and wealth of information! Quality product and great instructions and videos.

Agreed. Leasing isn't just for those who maybe can't afford to purchase and need lower payments. This is the exact reason why we lease our Escalade and purchased the Silverado. I plan on keeping the truck as it replaced Old Blue, a 2003 Silverado. The SUV is for the wife and it's nice not dealing with extended warranties and warranty work, etc.

I've been using my Range for a little over 4 months now. I had to reset it once last week (take off, run for a few minutes and reinstall while running) as I noticed it was going back into V4 with it plugged in. . No codes were thrown. So keep in mind you may need to "reset" it occasionally.

Picked mine up before Christmas. Installed the nerf bars yesterday as weather was decent. Lund tonno pro cover. Dealer sticker demod as well as 4 x 4 stickers and replaced license plate bulbs witb leds. Looking at a leveling kit in the future.
