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.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
