The original tailgate lock wire harness only had 2 wires, but the plug it connected to has 8 wires. The used lock with camera wire harness has 8 wires and it plugs in perfect...although the wires are not the same color...but the lock works just as it did before. All the wires appear to be in good condition, although I did not check any of them for continuity. The screen doesn't change at all, it keeps the radio with time and temp displayed. I'm thinking there's an issue with the OBDGenie because it goes through a series of flashing lights but the flashing red never stops and turns green after a few minutes like the instuctions say it will once complete.

Hello, lots of good info here. I'm looking for tips on how to get the backup camera working on my 2016 2500HD LT with I06 system and power tailgate lock but no camera from the factory. Here's what I've done this far. 1. Purchased a 14-19 power tailgate lock with camera & wiring harness from a salvage yard on ebay. 2.Purchased a new bezel with the hole for the camera. 3.Installed the parts above and plugged the harness to the 8 pin plug behind the bumper. The tailgate lock works as it did before. 4. Purchased the OBDGenie to turn on the camera feature. Followed directions but the lights on the OBDGenie do not change colors like it's supposed to once the update is complete. 5. Contacted OBDGenie. They sent me a replacement but the replacement does the same thing...like it's not completing the update. I expected this would be plug & play since I used factory used parts and a highly rated company for the OBD upgrade. So is there something else I'm missing? Any info on this is much appreciated.
