Found the camera and handle on EBAY, Thanks.

One more question. Should it just be plug and play, I have the port by the spare tire, or do I have to have the dealer flash it?

I have only talked to one dealer in the Houston area that would even take a look at getting installed for me. You best bet would be sending of your HMI and having it programed and then the rest (camera) should be plug and play. There was one guy that had to tap into his reverse light to get power to his camera, but he had a WT so you may not have that problem with an LT. Shoot Anthony Brush (919-995-9523) a text tomorrow and ask him how you can go about getting that flashed, he should know.

Have the wiring, can buy the parts, but dealer says they need a CAL (calibration) number for their programming tool to trigger the camera support. In the past GM has sold accessories supplied with a CAL they use to activate the accessory. Sold as a kit. Unfortunately this isnt available as a kit., and the dealer has no clue how to address the issue without CAL

 

Going with a GPS that supports wireless backup camera wired to reverse lights as an alternative.

 

Not trusting my HMI module to an internet provider.

 

Ultimately about the same cost as as camera parts and programming, but have a GPS to boot.

I can understand that. The only one I trust is MVI, mainly because I have heard so many good things. You could always do the option where they send you a new HMI module and then you send yours back (I think MVI does this) just to make sure everything works properly.

After buying the GM camera and bezel online I went to three dealers and finally the third dealer had the knowledge to program the camera to make it work on my 2015 WT. Most dealers have no idea how to do the programming. The dealer never even exposed the HMI under the glove box. All they did was plug in their computer under the dash and entered the proper codes, which they received from GM, and the back up camera worked.

Do you have io3 or io4?

Received my camera and tailgate handle that I ordered from Amazon, $130. Installed it myself. Paid the Chevy dealer $50 to program. Works great.

I am not sure what software version I have but its the small 4" screen.

 

 

Would you mind checking? Its in the top glove box on that silver sticker and will be either io3 or io4. And it is in alphabetical order. Thank you in advance!

Has anyone looked into if there is a difference in the 2014/15 cameras vs. the 2016 camera ? I got a 2016 as a loaner this week and the clarity seems so much better than on my 2014. If the 2016 camera fits and wires up the same, it may be a better upgrade.

Never thought of this. Thanks!

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
