I have a 2010 Silverado, its a real pain to park this thing and reversing in seems to be the way to do it but I can't tell when to stop and so would like to install a backup camera. I would preferably like to put in an OEM unit with the screen in the mirror (mine doesn't have navigation). Is there a kit somewhere that will allow me to do this and still maintain the auto dimming feature of the mirror

GM offers an accessory kit which includes a new mirror with a screen. Your truck needs to have the Comfort and Convenience package (YE9) for it to work, I believe.

 

I took this from the GM Accessory web site:

 

For Use on Vehicles with Locking Tailgate (A60), Non-Navigational Audio Systems (US8, UUI, UUJ, or UUN), OnStar (UE1), and Comfort and Convenience Package (YE9)

19172557

$ 999.00

 

For Use on Vehicles without Locking Tailgate (A60), But with Non-Navigational Audio Systems (US8, UUI, UUJ, or UUN), OnStar (UE1), and Comfort and Convenience Package (YE9)

19172558

$ 999.00

 

Here's a good thread on the subject also

 

Definitely a great feature to have. I have the camera in the mirror in my new truck and it works very well.

$1000.00?!?! I think I'd just go by some orange cones and practice a lot! Wow! :rolleyes:

 

I was in Pep Boys the other day and they had one with a bigger screen than the mirror (I have the one in the mirrror in my new truck) for about a $100 i think. Thinking about putting it on my mother's Suburban

That sounds a lot better than the $900+.. I guess I either really cheap.. or have been a truck driver for close to 25 years or both. :sigh:

30 bucks buys you a nice reciever and hitch ball, drive by brail like some of our wives do :rolleyes:

 

check ebay, for 100 or less you can buy a decent kit, spend a little more get something nice, but giving gm a grand it outrageous

The OEM one came on my LTZ and it cost $450. Man, it is sooooo handy and the picture in the mirror is incredibly clear. I never use it with out thinking to myself, "Man, I'll bet the rear-camera saves lots of lives ... baby's and small clild's lives."

 

It's worth almost any amount, if the quality is superb, which the OEM unit is.

Just finished the install on my 2011 CC. You can buy the mirror on ebay, and the camera kit at many websites, such as the camera source. Should be able to get all your parts for around $400 or less. Definitely gives peace of mind when little feet are around.

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou
