2017 backup camera won't dim

[1990dtgl98]

Just curious... I bought a 2017 Sierra slt. When I back up at night the screen goes to max bright when the backup camera comes on.

 

It basically washes out seeing anything out of my mirrors and frankly makes it worse than if I wouldn't have it.

 

What gives!?

My 2017 Silverado LTZ does this too. Makes backing up suck. When I take my truck in for an oil change I'm going to ask them about it.

Ain't technology wonderful?

There is another thread going regarding this same issues. Sounds like it's a software bug: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/198767-backup-camera-monitor-too-bright-at-night/

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

I went into my dealership today for an oil change and inquired about it. The service manager said she hasn't heard of it but looked it up and found it on her computer.

She told me that I had to make an appointment to get any software updated as a specialized GM software technician had to come in to do any software reprogramming or updates.

I'm going to try and have my truck booked in for later this week. I'm curious of the outcome of the software update.

I'll post results after it gets done.

I had TSB 17-NA-269 implemented on my truck today and it completely fixed this problem! Get it done on your truck and you'll be a happier camper!

Is the a22 radio controller update the same as the TSB 17-na-269 ?  I ask as I requested the TSB be done and the dealership basically tore a strip off me and said they don't tell their mechanics what to do, (more on that issue to follow later), BUT they took my truck and performed a radio update, I am not sure the lighting problem is any better and wanted to check here before I go back and deal with this.

 

My receipt says that they applied the "most current cal code 806CE" to my radio.

anyone have an update

I don't know the answer to this question.

I had the TSB update for the nite backup camera issue done to my '17 Sierra a while back and it works great now. IIRC there is another thread about this in this forum, or the main model year forum on this issue as well. 

Not sure if the TSB is the same as the a22 radio contoller update......

I had the camera tsb performed this past Friday. I asked specifically for #17-ma-269. It makes a difference

I think you have a typo.  It should be:

 

#17-NA-269

Yes, that's the one. Now i'm not blinded by the screen when I put it in reverse at night!

Is it just me, or the trucks should have never left the plant this way.  I think it is a major lack of quality control, somebody wasn't doing their job.
