That's a great price! The black handle on ebay is about $60.

Make sure you get the 4mm machine screws 2 about 1/2 inch. .

Found a great price on the handle.

Let us know how your install goes and if the dealer reprogramming of the radio goes smoothly. If you get any sort of bill code or something on that part please pass along as it wouldn't surprise me if some dealers say they can't reprogram it.

I tried this on my 2015 3500HD and it didn't work. I had to get an aftermarket camera with wiring all the way to the HMI to make it work. So my new, unused, black tailgate handle with camera is for sale. I bought it at my local GM dealer and they wouldn't take it back. Part #'s 22803702 and 23156952. I paid $228.29. I'll let it go for $200 shipped (or local pickup in NJ).

That is disappointing. What was the issue that it didn't work?

The connection was there behind the bumper, but the wiring was not. So when the camera was plugged in nothing happened. My HMI was programmed for a camera since the lines showed up for a second when putting in reverse, then the "service rear camera system" message popped up. After connecting the aftermarket camera it worked with no flashing or programming. I assume it's because it's a 3500 and all of you having success have 1500's.

Installed the new handle with the camera yesterday it took about 15 minutes. The hardest part was getting the wiring through the hole in the tailgate! Going to my dealer Thursday to get the Hmi programed hopefully they know what needs to be done! If anyone has any pointers for my gm dealer let me know, or should order the pre programed Hmi ?? Thanks in advance for any help :)

Mjj, I went to a dealer today and they have no clue on programming! Called a different dealer and they think they might be able to get it done, but I dont have the time. So I will be ordering a programed Hmi. . Will let you know when I have a update

You need to have the VCO rewritten. As I understood the explanation, this changes the VIN to have it indicate the vehicle is now equipped with a reverse camera.

 

I installed the camera and handle myself, plugged it into the existing wiring on the truck via the plug at the rear junction box. Then I took my truck to my mechanic, who after some tinkering and searching through the computer, figured out he needed to have the VCO rewritten. Once he called them (AC Delco I believe) they performed a VCO rewrite and the VIN had been updated. My mechanic then updated the HMI and the truck accepted the camera. As soon as he put it in reverse, the screen turned on and the reverse camera worked.

 

I have a 2015 Chevy 1500 LT, 4.2" Screen (IO4), Crew Cab 4x4, 5.3 Ecotech.

 

No special modules purchased. No send off for programming. As I understand it, my VIN has been permanently changed to reflect the truck having a reverse camera, and as such no amount of dealer reprogramming will change it.

 

Hope this helps.

The rewrite makes sense but the dealers here in nys are lazy, I was given a sheet of paper with gm phone numbers. But maybe this will help everyone! Thanks

Thanks both of you for the info. I'll give my dealer a call and hopefully verify they understand what to do before I actually buy the camera. Then hopefully get it done probably at the same time as my first oil change which should be needed within a month.

Received a reprogrammed hmi today but I'm not sure if there's a installation procedure? I'm waiting for the directions to be emailed or text to me.

I wasn't sure what an HMI was so I did some searching. Seems like a lot of people are getting them reprogrammed to do stuff like we are wanting to do. From what I understand it's located behind the glove box. And apparently the vehicle will not run if there is not an HMI installed. That seems ridiculous to me.

 

Where did you buy your HMI from?

 

I hope your install goes well. Keep us posted.

      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.

      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.
