My 16 has not been updated. But here's how the OEM config works: During the day, the adjustment knob does nothing. But when it's dark enough for the sensor to automatically turn on the lights, the knob (wheel) will adjust the camera screen brightness accooordingly

My windows are tinted I can't see the mirrors unless I roll the windows down at night. So the radio never bothers me ha ha.

OK, had the update applied today and got the chance test it out tonight...   It does reduce the brightness of the screen when put in reverse and allows you to see and use your mirrors. GM still didn

Weird - not sure why it does that. My 2015 stays dimmed ...

The issue applies only to the 2017s.

Had mine done Wednesday. It still brightens a bit but only like 5-10% of what it used to. In my opinion, problem solved. Now all I gotta do is replace these 18" wheels with a set of 20's

Yes I have noticed the backup camera having a washed out picture at night and it is pretty annoying. This software update is on my list for the next free oil change visit to the dealership. I had a 16 and it was not like this at all. Thanks for posting the info.

I saw this TSB number in another thread #17-na-269

They will update the a22 radio controller with the latest software available

Had the update done today. They could’ve done better, but it’s an improvement. Wish they had done like my 2014 where it dimmed with the dash lights.

Could you put a small piece of window tint film cut to fit the camera lens in the tailgate? That would certainly dim the view I would think and it’s removable.

The problem is the display inside the truck, it has a software error/glitch that runs the display brightness to full at night when the backup camera is enabled. Placing anything over the rear camera would only diminish the view during the daytime and not solve the problem at night as the display would still be run to full brightness... Why "hack" a repair/fix when a working solution is only a GM dealer visit away?

Very glad I found this thread, I actually covered my back up camera up with some tape because it completely blinded me at night. I just called the dealership after seeing this thread. Service guy wasn't aware of any issue but immediately after I told him it was a known issue he found it in the computer system and there is a software update to fix it.

Just went outside (nighttime) to test my 2016 Silverado because this has been a huge annoyance to my husband. The backup screen dimmed considerably when I dimmed the dash lights.   Hope this helps others.

Software update helped, but still a low-quality picture with two "rings" behind the backup lights.  It was about a 45 minute appointment at the dealer.  Like another post said, I also have 20% 3m tint on my side windows and need to roll them down to see the mirrors more clearly when reversing at night, depending on the situation.  As a side note, I haven't found the "auto tilt" mode helpful, and have mine selected to normal.

I just had mine done last week, makes a big difference at night being able to see side mirrors. the TSB- 17-NA-269 worked perfectly. it took about an hour for the dealer to push the update

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
