I changed this topic from upgrade to HD camera to now file your NHTSA complaint regarding the safety of the rear view camera. https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/VehicleComplaint/ I also today 5/26/2020 filed an official case with Chevy and have a case number. During my phone call i expressed my absolute concern for the safety while using this rear view camera. At night time it honestly is so ridiculously awful that i could run a person or dog over and never knew they were even behind me. this camera is absolute useless compared to my 2015. My 2015 i pretty much never used my mirrors and only used the camera cause it had such a great picture and wide spread angle on it even at night time. I will be updating this as i hear more from GM. They said 4 business days. I encourage every one of you to file a NHTSA complaint. if we file enough they have to listen. I cited the poor day time quality, and the fact that at night time you can not see anything at all. The screen is so bright that it makes your eyes adjust to where you cant actually see out your side mirrors, and then the picture on the actual camera is so white washed and poor quality you cant even see out that. I legit feel like im blindly backing up at night time

I tried to search on your page and this page but cant seem to find it... what exact is your set up? i saw something about you running 2" spacers on another post .

I know this treads a few months old but hoping you see this and reply! For your friend who put the 35x12.5x18s on her truck stock. Can you explain what a little to no rub is? Are we talking rubbing when turning full lock? Or just in reverse full lock? Just curious. I can deal with it in reverse only but prefer not to rub with going forward.

Okay awesome good info. Thank you

This is interesting. cause i defiently notice the fish eye thing you are talking about. today backing up during the day time it wasnt as bad. but last night was awful. Imma have to go out and play with this and see if i can get it to do what you mean. SO you are saying if you hop in truck and boom go right to reverse its fish eye but if you give it a hot second it seems normal?

Has anyone got this addressed?

This is a picture in reverse. Honestly the camera was do bright for 1. And so white washed out i couldn't even see! I was backing out of my dates driveway and legit probably looked like i was an incompetent driver because it took me so long. I couldnt see ******. Then the camera was so bright that from looking at it i had to adjust my eyes and cover the screen with my hand to back up. Was so afraid i was going to back into a mailbox or the ditch cause i couldn't see. I am 1000% going to be complaining to the service department monday. This is absolutely unacceptable. I cant even use my reverse camera Note- i noticed when i got back to my house which has a lit driveway that i could see better. The picture was actually more crisp than it was during the day oddly enough. But once i got past the point of where the lights shined it went grainy again. It almost which idk if this camera can or not but it seemed like the light hitting it or not hitting it was making it lose focus. Like when the light (drive way spot light) directly hit it it was crystal clear but in the dark it was grainy and almost out of focus.

Heres my pic you can see what i mean by it seems compressed vertically and is grainy I noticed the camera lens? Is rounded instead of flat like my old truck. I wonder if this is the issue

My 2020 LT Trail Boss is less than a week old and im already headed for service on monday for the push to talk not working. I am also going to bring up the quality of my camera. The things is a piece of junk. I do not have the convenience 2 package so no HD camera or anything but still. So my camera during the day looks extremely grainy. when i first saw it it almost felt like it was misaligned? the camera seems like its too focused almost. I will go out and take a pic here soon. But on my old truck (2015 LT) I could see everything around the truck on the backside. I have a big hoop in my hitch bumper that i could get within CMs of another vehicle cause the quality was so good. With this one with the same hoop the camera almost doesnt even focus on it. Ive never seen a more poor quality camera than this one. I went out last night and put it in reverse to see the night time quality and i almost threw up it was so bad. To be honest there is 0% chance i can even reliably use the camera at night time. Its beyond grainy and so white washed (appears high contrast) that its impossible to even use to back up. I want to see pics of other peoples camera so when i go in monday i can bring this to the service dept. attention to get fixed. I mean this a $50K+ truck that has such a low qaulity camera i cant even use it functionally/ reliably? no way. GM SERVICE if you see this please reach out if others are having this issue and what they can do. Im already sad about having to service my push to talk when its a week old (came broken when i bought it found it on way home) and now this camera. Giving me serious buyers remorse here...

So random here but what did you guys do with all your stock parts ? Sell them? Scrap?

Wow that looks good. What tires you running? Is that the RC 5"? IM getting that installed on the 20th. What's your roof height/ clearance?

Hiw were you able to run stock rims? Thought you couldnt? Or do you have 20s?

are these stock rims? also can you please measure your roof height clearance? I am considering doing the 4.5" zone with 33s and i HAVE to fit in a 7 foot 1" garage.
