Here are the ones I ordered Noe

GM OEM Parking Aid-Camera 23306741

2014 2015 Chevrolet Silverado Sierra Tailgate Handle GM# 23448681

 

I am now dealing with the issue of getting the dealer to program this correctly for me. They said they are not able to because the truck did not come with one and it is not in the Program settings. I have emailed them what RolnSlo has posted, hopefully they will be able to offer some assistance. Other option is to use MVI at gm-navigation.com and send in current HMI for a pre-programmed HMI for $200, that being my last ditch effort, hopefully the dealer can offer some quick and easy help.

Yes, you can add the OE rear camera to a truck that didn't have that option from the factory. GM was kind enough to at least put the wiring in place whether the truck was ordered with it or not. How

Yes. That truck came with a camera but it left when the tailgate was stolen or wrecked and replaced, without the camera.

Check for rpo code UVC on the label in the glovebox.   UVC is rear vision camera.   If it left the factory with a camera, the code will be on the label.     Did you check the tailgate handle

Still haven't been able to figure this out. The camera plug It has only has 6 pins and the one in my truck has 8 pins. Is it supposed to plug into the same plug as the locking latch which only has two wires coming from it

2016 Silverado LT. It did not come with the backup camera, did have the tailgate lock. I purchased GM camera and new tailgate latch. Installed them myself. Took it to the dealer to get it flashed, dealer flashed the system, rear view camera showed up in setting, but no picture in reverse. Long story short, I had the camera plugged into the wrong place ( turned out where i had it plugged into was just an empty plug). I worked with the guys at the dealer, they eventually told me if the truck wasn't born with the camera, you couldn't add it. I went out to the lot and crawled under a 2016 that had a backup camera and traced the cable from the tailgate to where it plugged in. That cable had 8 wires in it, mine only had two. I surmised the backup camera and tailgate lock wiring was in the same cable. I unplugged the cable for my tailgate lock and plugged in the cable for the camera, I now had a camera but no tailgate lock. The camera plug had two empty slots, so I disassembled both plugs and moved the tailgate lock wires to the camera plug, now everything works. I have backup camera and tailgate lock. I do not have any warning sign/sounds when backing though. Not really a problem as I only really wanted it to assist in hooking up to my trailers.

 

Happy to help anybody with this mod.

I just bought a 2016 without a backup camera and I'm trying to install one myself. I bought the handle already but I'm running into trouble finding the correct camera to buy. The dealership is no help either. Could someone please provide a part number for a camera that will plug into the factory harness. Thank you in advance.

If you don't have a b/u camera in your truck do yourself a favor and go aftermarket. I've seen clearer pictures trying watch Cinemax when I was 13 than the picture on these stock backup cameras.

Does anyone know if a 2016 or 2017 backup camera would work for the 2015 camera? They look like the same thing when I look up the part numbers on ebay.

2016 Silverado LT 4x4. It did not come with a rear view camera. I installed a factory camera and tailgate latch, plugged in into the junction box under the bed. Took it to the dealer to be flashed. Now all I get is "Service rear view system".

Same here. 2014 Silverado WT with IO4. Plugged in camera in RC port, flashed ECU, nothing but "service rear view system." Not sure what else there is to do. I bought another camera in case the first one was DOA, no help.

I have a 2017 Cheverolet 2500 Series Work Truck that has a screen in the cab for all the gadgets of blutooth phone, stereo etc... the question I have is I crunched my pickup box and now needs to replace it.  For a few dollars more I could get the box and tailgate with the back up camera items and I also need a new bumper, So could I add a back up camera to my system , even though I would assume the Work Truck version did not come with that from the factory?

Gosh I would really love to talk to you since I need to replace my 2017 Work Truck box and bumper and I really want to get the back up camera --mine orginally did not have it --but I have the screen for all the goodies inside so I can see I can buy the new box and bumper for backup camera for ony a little more.,  Question is--can I make this work so it looks and works like a factory back up camera and shows up on my LCD screen on the dash>?

I would like to thank Purebred_mutt for his input on this subject. I have a 2016 Silverado LT 2500hd which did not come with the factory backup camera. I purchased what I thought was a plug and play backup camera through the dealer for $1000. Over the next year or so, I started to have a flashing on my infotainment screen followed by a black screen. After several trips to the dealer I was told "someone" had placed an aftermarket navigation system in my vehicle so it would not be covered by warranty. To make a long story short, the dealer did not fix my camera after 3 wks in the shop. I took it back to the branch where I bought it, 50 miles away, and they said the same thing as they told mutt, namely, if the truck wasn't born with the b/u camera, I was ****** outa luck. They were kind enough to offer to sell me a new truck with a backup camera for an astronomical amount of money.

So it decided to try the obdgenie just to see if by some magic it would work. And it didn't. 

After searching the internet for hours, I found Mutts report and took the tailgate apart and crawled under the truck to see where these cables plugged in. I determined I was prewired for a camera by looking behind the glovebox in the front of the truck. 

I removed the aftermarket Nav/backup camera and plugged in a tailgate handle camera I bought from GM Nav and Integration Specialists into the 8 pin harness that Mutt described. Lo and behold, my backup camera worked! The one I purchased actually had the 2 wire harness that attached to the activator in my tailgate so the automatic tailgate locking function works. 

Had it not been for Mutt, I probably would have given up on getting a camera and just kept running into things when I backed up.

I am glad he had the guts to ignore the stupid dealer and take matters into his own hands.

I would like to kick both the dealers that I visited in their nuts(if they had any). How could they not know that  a simple fix was available. I think they just don't care because they weren't going to make any warranty money off of my problem and just wanted to sell me a new vehicle. 

Thanks again Mutt. We need more people like you who won't just take someones word that a problem can't be fixed.

Hello, lots of good info here. I'm looking for tips on how to get the backup camera working on my 2016 2500HD LT with I06 system and power tailgate lock but no camera from the factory. Here's what I've done this far.

 

1. Purchased a 14-19 power tailgate lock with camera & wiring harness from a salvage yard on ebay.

2.Purchased a new bezel with the hole for the camera.

3.Installed the parts above and plugged the harness to the 8 pin plug behind the bumper. 

   The tailgate lock works as it did before.

4. Purchased the OBDGenie to turn on the camera feature. Followed directions but the lights on the OBDGenie do not              change colors like it's supposed to once the update is complete.

5. Contacted OBDGenie. They sent me a replacement but the replacement does the same thing...like it's not          completing the update. 

 

I expected this would be plug & play since I used factory used parts and a highly rated company for the OBD upgrade.

So is there something else I'm missing? Any info on this is much appreciated.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
