Is there a way to add a Cargo Camera? would be nice if the MyLink screen would have the option of a second camera. The tailgate mounted rear camera works great but for hooking on a fifth wheel, a second one in the box would be great. Has anyone heard of an available kit? I hear other manufacturers have them but nothing on Chevy yet...

A second in the box and an option to hook a wired one to the back of trailer would be FANTASTIC!!!

 

I'm guessing these are all coming soon as the 2017 Ford SD series trucks have multiple camera options. If I recall correctly, a fully-optioned SD can have up to something like 7 cameras on it, including a 360* view. Pretty incredible stuff.

 

Soon a $50k truck will be a thing of the past with all these coming options.

I think the MVI folks have an upgrade for the radios that add capabilities and a second camera input is one of them.

Not sure if it shows in split screen or you have to switch from backup to other camera.

Send them a text, I'm sure they will let you know what is possible.

Then it would be up to you to add the camera where you need it.

That looks like a pretty nice set-up. And at first, I thought $1k was pricey, but for what you get that feature, it's not too bad.

Thank you for your email!

 

We have everything on shore and GM is looking to get everything stock and the line rolled out to the dealers by the beginning of June. Your correct in assuming that the part will work on both Silverado and Sierra vehicles on both HD and LD vehicles.

 

The camera will be available at the same time, we just passed testing.

 

Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions, thanks!

Interesting, I'm in the market for a camera on the back of my camper. The trailer is pre-wired, would love to have it interface with Mylink.

It is a very nice setup. Just remember the $995 cost is AFTER you have the tow mirrors. If your truck doesn't have tow mirrors you need to have those installed first (which costs another $1200 at the dealership). But most 2500 and 3500's already have the tow mirrors ...

    • 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? 
    • 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.  
    • 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”.
