Ok...so this video just got uploaded:

This shows our kit that requires running the harness to the front...we supply a preflashed HMI all ready to go for your specific truck. Would require sending your old module back to replace the one we send pre-flashed.

I will hopefully have footage in the next week so you can compare image quality to the one from the factory.

Feel free to call or PM me for plug and paly options...eliminating running the harness to the front.

here you go...hopefully this helps a little. We were finally able to do some comparison. Video images are slightlt different due to camera locations couldn't be exactly the same....but there are noticeable differences.

 

 

This guy is the man. I purchased and installed his camera kit and it works awesome. Nice clear picture. At first I got the error message when shifting back to drive. He sent me a relay to delay the camera. No more error message. Now the rear camera stays on for a few seconds after shifting to drive, which is nice.

I also had a problem with my nav which I bought from someone else. That guy couldn't help me. I called Anthony and he gave me some free advice, and now my nav works like it should. Thank you!!!

Hey guys i have a problem. Hoping someone could give some help. As i mentioned earlier i installed oem tailgate camera off ebay. I then bit the bullet and ordered the io4 to io5 kit with 8inch screen and hmi. Got it all installed and camera works but screen is only 4 inches big over in left top corner of 8 inch screen. Also touchscreen function only works part of time. Of course i called the seller and they said this was their first actual io4 to io5 swap. That i was abit of a guinea pig. Anyway they said they had done plenty io4 to io6 w nav and they knew that would work. Their supposed to be doing some research and getting back with me. Anyway i took my glovebox back out and studied wiring and it appears my truck does not have the green center positioned plug that goes into j4 on hmi. I watched youtube video several times and noted that theirs did have all 5 wire plug ins including center j4. I even removed top glovebox to search for it. Could this be my problem? Does anyone else with factory io4 have this j4 wire. Anyway my weekends ruined. I really dont want to have to return that pretty big screen. Also i didnt want to have to spend almost double for io6 nav just to get screen to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Alright so I got some great news on 8" screen. Received new HMI today and installed it. Everything works perfect now. Screen is so beautiful compared to old 4.2" screen. Really makes dash so much nicer. Really cool part is they sent me 2015 HMI so now I have texting which is really nice. Hats off to Jenni and Carl at digital dash aka fixmygauges.com. I couldn't be happier. Now to add an amp for door speakers. Any recommendations for these new trucks?? Need to know if I need loc or not.

So do you truely have a plug and play option for these trucks? I'd prefer not to do any extra drilling, splicing of wires, etc. I have a 2014 with the 4.2 in radio. You also have the option for display in the mirror? Is this also plug and play?

Thanks.

I have a 2015 Silverado and would like a OEM back up camera as well. I would like to know what you mean you had your mylink flashed for a back up camera. I also have the the filler plug under my truck you talked about and showed picture of.

After not getting any response on here or by email from MVI and being kinda nervous about having to reprogram the truck I went the backup cam in the rearview mirror route. Which I am very happy with.

I've had my camera installed for about a month and a half now and no issues. Like I mentioned above very happy with it.

I posted this in another thread but figured it'd be more helpful here (sorry didn't take pics during install):

 

I bought the backup camera kit from www.cubbycam.com which seems like very good quality. They were quick to respond to my questions and emailed me a pdf of the install guide before I ordered.

 

It came with the tailgate handle with camera, which was prety simple to remove the access panel on the inside of the tailgate and swap out. It had a harness that ran from the back up to the underside the drivers side area which again was pretty straight forward I just followed the existing harness that ran along the outside of the drivers side frame using zip ties every 12 inches to hold it to the other harness. I had to pull up the carpet and drill a 1" hole in the floor on the drivers side for the harness to come up thru. This made me nervous but it had a rubber grommet and some sealant paste stuff to seal it up good. The replacement onstar mirror that has the camera image imbedded I swapped out and by removing the center overhead console which come out really easy, basically just pulls down and a couple screws. I then fished the new mirror harness above the headliner over to the drivers side A pillar. I had to remove the visor, 3 screws, and the plastic pillar piece which come off easy too. Finished fishing that harness down the pillar and then down under the dash. The camera harness and the mirror harness connect under the drivers side dash. The last part, which again made me a little nervous was I had to splice (I used the t-tap connectors) into two existing wires of the truck that went into the BCM. In all it took me a few hours going slow and being careful.

Well, he has had plenty of opportunity and actually stopped responding to pm's when I can obviously see when he is online.

 

Basically, he advertised audio controls, I paid him for audio controls, he said he shipped them on the 10th, I didn't receive them until the 28th, he lives 4 hours from me, the tracking number said it wasn't shipped until 23rd. When I received them, they are cruise controls and not audio controls. I have been sending pm trying to get him to respond but he is not. So I decided to step up my efforts.

      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.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.

      “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
