Installed my OGM1 today, well I started last night... The head unit, mic, and GPS adapter were a breeze to install. However installing the camera was a PITA! It was tedious work. Running the wires, drilling and snapping panels was no joke! If I had no experience with this I'd have ran to local shop to have it done. But I needy bragging rights.

Its crazy though, everything was really plug and play, no adapters or crazy extra steps to keep this looking stock. The rear camera though isn't for the faint of heart. Be prepared to do some real work.

Special thanks to Walt for his customer service and level of detailed information to make this a project I wasn't nervous to take on. I really appreciate your effort!

It is the CS-ulm1 universal lip mount camera, from ADC Mobile. They sell it 9 bucks cheaper than competition. It is mounted on the tailgate right above the License Plate (The screws go upright..) This is where the OEM LTZ Tahoe Camera sits... Almost looks like factory...

Just took this one in the rain hope you can see the camera. Adcmobile sells them for 160. It is mounted under the emblem under the lip. Hence lip mount camera. I took a night shot too in total darkness with my backup light being the only illumination and it was brighter than what my naked eyes could see. Walt said it has night vision. I'm really impressed with the camera.

what navigation is the radio running. I have the OGM1 as well, but mine looks much different.

 

That's the same iGo Nav only it's running in night mode...

Good to see you got the OGM1 and the camera in! Night vision is amazing on that camera...

 

I think you nailed it in your comments: nothing is especially hard about the camera install, it's just very tedious work that you really can't take too much of a shortcut on.

 

Did you use my tip about fishing the camera cable through the big grommet in the tailgate?

 

I keep threatening to document that install with pictures and video but just haven't gotten around to it yet. Did you take any video or pics of the tailgate camera install?

Unfortunately I didn't. I started with the intention but my patience got the best of me and couldn't record and install simultaneously. Plus I started at night (silly me) so working in darkness was aggravating enough. I did fish the camera cable through the tailgate grommet, no cable or anything in sight. Looks stock if not for the camera itself not being OEM. Thanks again sir!

I'm kiinda glad to see I am not the only one with problems with the backup camera. I bought the OGM1 and backup camera from ADC and Walt and let me tell you - you will not get better support and such from anyone else. Thanks Walt!!

 

The problem I refer to with the backup camera. I find that it washes out pretty bad in bright sunlight. Look at post #2 above at picture #5(IMG_0299.JPG) I actually had someone walk by the rear about 25 feet away and I could not make out their skin color. They showed as a white human shaped blob. Mine also seems to be out of focus. Not sharp. At night, the picture is usable but very grainy(alot of static). All this aside, it does work and gives me capabilities I did not have before. This is the camera from camera-source. Maybe I just got the older CCD version instead of the "Super CMOS" version.

 

As for the OGM1, I really like it. I have used the factory NAV units and the OGM1 blows them away. Walt has provided very good videos for install and using this unit. It really is a pretty easy install.

can you take a another picture of the mounted camera. Ive been looking for something like this. How much was the camera?

 

 

That mount wouldn't work well on a pickup, it'd sit too low I think. You'd be best off getting the OE-style one in the tailgate handle.

Oh Actually the image was fine... That was flash from my iPhone 5, I am pretty happy with the image quality.

I decided to join this forum after several emails and phone calls....just to say THANK YOU.

 

I haven't purchased this unit but I'm sold on it. I read on two or three different forums about this unit. So I decided to give Walt (www.adcmobile.com) a call after sending him two or three lengthy emails. I have a particular setup that I was trying to do. He was helpful enough to explain how I need to go about it. Not sure why he gave me all the help since I haven't even bought from him yet. I have existing monitors (phillips 9") they only work from an apple connection. Walt and I were discussing how to use the exisiting monitors with whatever deck i choose and adding a backup camera. Great support and a wealth of knowledge.

There are so many people in our business that won't help you UNLESS you buy from them, that it makes me wonder WHY you would buy from them if they don't help you in the first place...

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
