Reverse Camera **UPDATE**

[tmo]

Funny you should mention to check the plug because I actually did have it connected to the wrong one before. Unfortunately, even after I swapped it to the correct port the camera still doesn't show on the screen. I also checked the fuses and they are fine. Guess I'll be checking the wiring with a meter next.

 

Did you ever get your camera to work?

No luck yet.. I did verify that the camera works by connecting it to another GM truck, so I'm not sure where to go from here. I have a diagram so the next thing I'll check is the voltage and ground at the connection under the bed and hope to find something there.

Turn up instrument panel lights to get better camera image.

Anyone ever figure out the 2014 1500 WT mine will not work with a 2016 flashed hmi and 8" screen it has lines but says service rear camera... Where are the factory backup camera wires running to up front? Hmi or in the dash somewhere? Any idea???

I just called a dealer in Houston about my 2015 and he said the wiring was not in the dash but for some reason I don't believe him. They also said keyless entry could not be added but a dozen calls later I am happily using "factory" keyless entry. As far as wiring there is a video online that shows if you have wiring in the cab. Good luck!

I miss spoke. I accidentally gave the guy the VIN from our Acadia. Which doesn't make since either because the Acadia has a backup camera. You would think he would have caught that. Anyways I will be calling back tomorrow again and find out what the case is for the 15s.

Finally got my camera working this weekend on my 2015 Sierra WT! The problem I found was that there was no power being sent to the camera when in reverse. All I had to do was splice into the reverse lights and connect that to the white camera wire at pin 1 and it worked. All of the other wiring was fine so this may be a common issue with all WT models without a factory backup camera.

Congrats! How did you get the programming done and where did you get your camera? I can only find ones that are for aftermarket use and gmpartsdirect.com does not sell them.

I purchased the 8" screen upgrade that comes with a programmed HMI from MVI-Autospa. The camera was ordered from eBay, the seller was Suburban Chevrolet. Just search for GM# 22803702 and you should find one easily for around $100-110.

Did you have the io3 or io4 radio?

My truck was io4 originally.

So I guess you have like the WT2 in that case? I wonder if the process is the same for the io3 trucks. I don't even think they have the HMI modules in them so getting ours flashed would be kinda hard. haha

Where did you purchase the tailgate handle and backup camera with gm factory plug for this install? Thanks.

Search for GM# 22803702 (thats the camera) on eBay and you will be able to find it. There is a guy selling quite a few of them. Have not bought one yet... waiting on radio, but this is where I will get mine. As for the handle, you can find that on eBay as well, but I don't know the part number. I heard that if you buy the handle on eBay you have to by the screws for the camera as well but I would think any parts store should have those.

Thanks for the info.
