Hello,

I have a 2010 crew cab silverado with the stock backup camera that displays in the mirror. I'm in the procces of installing a after market navigation and would like to tap into the stock camera feed. is this possable and if it is does anyone know the location of the connector inside the truck that i can tap into, i thought about the one at the mirror it self but that one seems harder to run wires to and work with. Any help would be great

 

 

Thanks

Mike,

 

I am in the process of installing a rear view mirror back up camera and I have ran into a problem, perhaps you can see if your truck has this. My kit came with a wiring kit. I am to plug to of the wires into the toe pannel power relay. The top left harness is a litegrey/white color. On that harness the second to the furthest most left plug is where I am supposed to plug the new wire into, but its preoccupied with a blue wire already. Does yours have this blue wire there also? The tech said he thinks it is if I had the navigation back up camera, because he says its a power wire for when the truck is in reverse.

 

Thanks in advance for your help,

OSIS

Yes, the cover locks onto the box via on push through screw in the middle and two locks one on each side that just slip over the retainer...........

 

 

 

Is that the box to the left of the brake on the inside of the cab?

The connector C11 has something to do with the camera i think. I disconnected it and started my truck and went into reverse and no picture displayed in my mirror but the truck also said to service the airbags. I really need to find a Pin out for connector C11 & C12. Does anyone happen to have access to get that pin out

 

 

thanks

Are you saying you need to find out what C11 and C12 do???? I can tell you I have spliced into the blue wire to run my rear view mirror camera, but my harness for the rear view mirror now has to slots preoccupied that I need to run wires too. The tech for the company i bought it from said to disconnect them and tape em up. One of them happens to be blue just like the blue wire that runs to the toe pannel power relay........

 

Unfortunately theres no service manuals available yet for our trucks and the chevrolet dealerships are not forth coming with info.......

 

We will get to this together buddy!!!!!!!!!!

 

I am going to unplug the two wires in the mirror tonight and I will let you know what happens..........I do know that the blue wire in the toe pannel grey/white harness gets 14 volts when in reverse, so its telling atleast one accessory to turn on in reverse gear!!!!!!

what wires do i have to splice into to view the camera ?

 

Ok in the rearview mirror in one corner theres a black wire( i believe slot 8), a blue wire( i believe slot 7) and then a i want to say it was a white wire(i believe slot 6).............the blue wire I beleive is the same one that is connected in the toe pannel relay in your pix. I beleive this is the power wire that tells the rear view mirror to turn on only when the car is in reverse, i beleive it gets power from the toe pannel when in reverse and sends it to the rear view mirror to turn on. I am not sure what the white one does, but i beleive it has something to do with the image.........to hook up my rear view camera I needed to unplug these two wires, white and blue wire from rvm and tape up. I then inserted two wires into their plugs from my kit. these two wires should be key in getting your radio monitor work. I would think you would need to either reroute them to your head unit or splice them, or see if there is already and existing wire in those colors going to your head unit harness.......

This is the kit I bought and now its up and running. I installed it on a truck that did not have any camera on it nor navigation radio. The company that sells it is autostratta I believe. I think they will sell just the harness and they sell the camera and harness if you have navigation but not camera.

But I definetly believe the white wire and the blue wire in the rvm harness are the ones you need to tap into to get it to work on your radio. I believe they are slots 7 and 6.

 

keep me posted..........

Heya ....Looks like the white and blue wire at the mirror are for the video feed ...well at least the wite wire is , i was able to get video on my display from hooking a temp wire to the tip of an rca to the wite wire. Thanks for the info. Im trying to see if i can find another spot where that wire is so i dont have to run a rca all the way to the mirror but looks like i may have to

 

 

Thanks for the info :dunno:

My pleasure Mike!!!!!!!!!! It was extremely frustrating when I was trying to hook up my RVM camera and because we are both going through similiar situations we were able to help each other out. The blue wire is the power wire going from the toe pannel, that only gets power when the car is in reverse, I beleive..........so if you wanted to always have the option of seeing your rear view camera if you just negate the blue wire from your head unit and replace with a hot wire for when the car is on........you should be good to go......I taped off the blue and white wire in my rvm.........post some pix when your done!!!!!!!!!!

 

In regards to finding another spot where the white wire is, I would begin looking under your truck, it has to come from the camera so trace the camera harness all the way up to your firewall and where it penetrates and try and find that white wire, shouldnt be too hard, just time consuming.........

 

Keep us posted!!!!!!!

I was wondering if anyone has looked into adding a backup camera to work with the factory nav screen. I found these two products:

 

3.5-inch Rearview Mirror Monitor Supporting GPS Navigate

5 inch Rear-view Mirror Monitor with GPS Navigation

EHFH128S-m.JPG

 

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about these or if anyone has any better solutions to accomplish this? I want it to function like a factory backup camera where the nav screen shows the camera when I put the car in reverse and then switches back to normal when I switch out of reverse.

I found the location of the mirror wiring on rear view mirror cams. There is a plug located in the drivers side kick panel with the 3 wires in it and the white one is the video signal.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
