Check this thread out, it had all the info I needed to get this done on my 12 Silverado. Now this is for if you already have the display in the mirror, and want it displayed on the navi unit as well. I am not sure if it is located there with the factory installed nav unit or goes straight to the nav unit itself.

Thank you, yes I have the mirror. (2012 Avalanche) I ended up tapping into the white wire on the mirror. I removed the overhead unit (with the maps lights) and found the same white mirror. I spliced into it and ran the wire down to the HU. Seems to be working fine. Thanks for the help

Sorry to bump a old thread like this. I have a 13 suburban and just installed Navigation OEM hard drive radio unit. I want to get the navigation to have rear view camera on it. I have rear view camera in my mirror. What do I need to do to get camera to Navigation from mirror? Again sorry to bump old thread.

We have plug and play connectors that will do this for you without having to splice anything on your late 2009 to 2013 GM truck. You can either split the signal between your mirror and navigation radio or simply move it so it only displays on the radio, both are different part numbers.

 

Here's the breakdown:

 

Move the signal is part number CS-GMMBH-CONV. If you have a power sliding rear window get the one with -p on the end of the part number.

Split the signal is part number CS-GMMBH-SPLT. Same thing about the power slider applies since it's a different harness get the -p version.

This harness is only currently available for trucks, not SUV's. Essentially this pigtail bridges the factory connectors with an RCA input so that you can easily connect an RCA into the factory mirror harness to grab the video feed. You then take an RCA cable and connect one end to this pigtail harness and the other end to your navigation unit backup camera input.

 

Thanks and don't hesitate to give us a call if you have questions!

Did you have any luck? I have a 2009 Sierra Denali with factory Nav & backup camera and i want to add a rear view mirror which shows the camera feed all the time, and still keep the camera turning on on the Nav unit when in reverse. Let me know if you had any luck...

I did this to my 2013 Yukon Denali and I believe the 2012, 2013, and 2014 are the same. This gives me a display in the navigation screen and rear view mirror when it is reverse. To get a constant picture in the mirror you would need a switched 12v connection to the mirror via number 9 pin position on the mirror plug. You would also need to have the camera connected to a switched hot wire all the time.

 

Run 2 wires from the plug on the back of the navigation head (easy to remove) attach a T tap to the blue wire and a T tap the white wire on the back of the nav unit that reside in the gray connector on the back of the navigation unit, one below the other in the connector plug, it, (the plug in connector could be brown) .

 

Remove the home link - map light panel, just above the rear view mirror on the head liner by popping out the plastic lens and then remove 2 screws, pull the panel out, remove it. Then pull the mirror plug wiring harness back from the windshield and then down through the hole where the plastic panel was removed from the headliner which contains the home link and map lights. Separate the wires in the mirror harness and tap just the blue and white wires then plug in the wires from the navigation head. Remove the right passenger A pillar, 2 bolts under the caps on the passenger assist grab bar.Just run the 2 wires from the taps (blue and white) on the navigation head under the dash and then up the passenger A pillar. Then hide them in the headliner en-route to the blue and white wires respectively on the mirror plug. If terminal 9 on the mirror plug becomes activated with 12V or more when the shifter is placed in reverse then you will have the camera video image displayed in the mirror LCD and the navigation screen when all is connected. Video quality is not diminished by the dual connection. That should do it.

 

Find other instructions for removing the bezel for the GMC factory nav. They are available at https://www. coastaletech.com/ under the GM2 installation instructions

I have my mirror camara with a bridge switch between 2 wires at the mirror harness i can have it on for maybe 10 min after it shuts off and mirror light blinks. It was a piece of cake with the diagram in hand. The issue im having problems with is tapping into those video wires , my head unit only has rca video input should i splice in an rca video wire and use white as main feed??

Revisiting an old threat, because I have been racking my brain looking through the web!  So need assistance. I have a 2013 Chevy Avalanche and replaced the factory Head Unit with an OEM NAV HU. I see different websites that have plug & play wiring harnesses to reroute the original rear view mirror backup camera image to be viewed on both mirror and NAV HU but they are either for a truck or SUV. 
Which is needed for the actual Avalanche?

 

I can not find anywhere that has an image to the exact location where the wiring harness would plug in on the Avalanche?

 

Any help is appreciated

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By Silver Yeti · Posted

      That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.

      2024 Silverado 2500 HD with the 6.6 Gas (L8T) Engine

      By Jay-22-2500 · Posted

      I bought a used 2022 2500hd with 6.6L in February. In March took a 2200 mile trip towing our 6500 lb trailer. Changed the oil day before leaving and when we were arriving at our 1st destination, low oil light came on (roughly 1000 miles) it was 2 qts low. Now it towed like a dream, no issue there, and we did go through the mountains of TN, but still, 2 qts! Luckily I did purchase an extended warranty. Brought it to the dealership in April, oil change and consumption test. Brought it back last week, 1300 miles, no towing, and no oil showing on the dipstick. GM is reccomending a new engine (cheaper than them rebuilding), we'll see if the warranty company comes through.
