I know for a fact that the cameras on the traverses have higher resolutions than the garbage they outfitted in the full size trucks.

 

If there were a way to plug one of those cameras into the wiring of ours and see if the resolution improved...

 

Who supplies rear view cameras to auto manufacturers? There has to be a way to retrofit a better one into the tailgate handle...

this is my biggest issue with my 2014. The camera compared to last years truck or any other vehicle I have seen is horrible! I love the overlay feature but the video resolution is sooooo bad! I can

wifes taurus has the back up cam but it was in the rear view mirror so it was smaller, but the quality was almost HD like and had some IR capability in it. Now we both have new chevys and I must say

I want to install a quick connect so I can unhook the camera from the tailgate and connect a different camera (On the back of my camper) once I'm hitched up.   I found the schematics, I just need to

The screen is not the problem. The resolution of the screen is very good.

I hate to say this but the screen resolution will not be good, I already asked the engineer about it. Also even if you hook up a higher resolution camera, if the screen is not capable of handling that resolution then you wont have any video.

 

No different than cranking the resolution up on a monitor or TV, get outside of the rate it can handle and it will not show anything.

that engineer of yours fed you a line of bull.

 

the resolution of the screens is much better than the cameras. if it weren't, then why can video files be played that look decent on it?

from a 2013 press release of the 2014 mylink:

 

"One of the most noticeable additions to the new Silverado is the available high-resolution, full-color touch-screen display radio that is seamlessly integrated into the top of the central instrument panel. This vibrant LCD screen is standard on LTZ and available on LT, and it displays a home page resembling a smartphone screen or tablet, with just a few, large buttons and easily recognizable icons to execute commands."

I would love to see the difference in quality of someone who swapped the factory radio for an aftermarket and retained the original backup cam.  Or added the optional 3rd brake lite camera.

I have a Pioneer head unit with Maestro RR interface using factory back up camera and the picture is crap. Worse then the factory picture. Reason for this is the camera GM uses is crap.

Maybe someone can post a picture of the quality of a 2019 backup camera, or any other newer GM vehicle. Maybe you can make these fit, because as far as i looked, the camera works just with a 4-pin connection like any other backup camera.

Do you guys really back up that much? 
 

My wife’s 19 camera is awesome but it’s 5 years newer than my 14 LTZ.  I’m only in reverse for 20 seconds at most so not a big deal to me.

I agree with the whole thread.  I have a Tahoe I put a pioneer screen (350) and a pioneer camera (100) in and the difference is outstanding.  Much better product than GM's

Firstly the screen can handle it, just play a properly formatted video using the media option and ou will see higher resolution. 

Secondly the "bandwidth" should also not be an issue since this is traveling over a wire. 

The biggest issue here would be drivers, and assuming that the open source OS software is used in all situations, the cameras would be selected for comparability so i doubt that would be an issue

Lastly, yes, some of us do back up that much especially when using the camera to hitch up. It would be nice to have a better resolution when hitching.

Hi folks happy new years. I'd like to share to the thread that the 2019 Silverado LT camera that I have has very poor quality.  I have a loner Traverse and the quality is nearly HD like quality night or day. The Silverado camera is grainy and even flickers.

      Enjoy the new truck, it’s a beauty. I’m glad you’re keeping the OBS, I love those old trucks.

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
