OK, had the update applied and got the chance test it out..

 

It does reduce the brightness of the screen when put in reverse and allows you to see and use your mirrors. GM still didn't provide any way to adjust the brightness with this fix.

hey thanks for the update! mine will be going in soon! just curious did you have any "shifting issues" corrected?

Yes had the reprogram done last Friday and it made a big difference.  The problem is new for 2017 LOL not a problem on my old 2014 or 2016 trucks

I posted this in the HD forum too:

 

I have a 2015 Silverado and my wife has a 2015 ATS.  Both backup camera screens work like they should.  But I had a 2018 ATS loaner and the screen was B-R-I-G-H-T  !!

 

GM must have changed something on all brands around 2017 ...

I’m bringing my 2017 HD in tomorrow, I was just in for the seat belt satisfaction replacement bulliten. I wish they would have done this when I was there for that. I didn’t really think there was a fix until I starting driving my 17 Tacoma with adjustable brightness. The Factory setting on the HD is blinding at night.

The update helps a lot but I wish they would come up with a fix so that the brightness level would be user adjustable, sometimes now in certain situations it is too dark.  If I back over and KILL you it is not my fault Hahahahahahaha

Had this TSB performed on my 17' 1500 today huge improvement!!! Thanks for posting this almost 18 months ago now. Had asked the dealer earlier about the backup camera being too bright at night, and you get this blank stare followed by it's what? The search function is a wonderful thing. LOL

Anyone know if you can you get this done outside factory warranty?  I just rolled over 36K and found this thread so didn't know there was a fix.

Just had my 2018  Silverado in for service and asked them about the backup camera which sucks at night. They said that there was nothing wrong with it. I gave them the TSB 17-NA- 269 and they did nothing , said it was normal. I can't use it at night. The whole 2018 Silverado is crap compared to my 2015 and earilier Chevys. A lot of technology but a shit ass truck. Maybe time for something else?

Is your '18 made after the cutoff date? If not, find a new dealer that doesn't treat you like shit...

It wasn't the dealer.  The dealer wanted to replace the camera but G M nixed it. Said it was within specifications. I contacted GM and have not received a reply yet.

I see...Why not take it to the dealership to address a TSB? After showing them the TSB did they determine that your vehicle was affected or built after March '18? If it meets the guidelines for the TSB have them apply the fix.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      Ahh, sorry about that - I got some bad info. Newdude is correct. That's what I get for working 13 hours straight ... on my "vacation", lol.   Should've checked the files I had instead of the internet.   Anyway ... this is GREAT news, since this would've been an absolute friggin nightmare to get working.   I don't think the lack of VVT is causing this - you've got another issue. Wiring, I'm betting.   I'm telling you right now, your computer isn't bad. If it worked before the swap, it's working now. You need to do some more (better) diagnostics and figure out exactly what you're missing. Did you test every wire directly at the MAF? Have 5V reference? Ground? If you're reading ZERO g/s, your Hz isn't much use - it's going to be the wrong value anyway. The MAF is not working, and you need to find out WHY.   I got this off the net, so VERIFY first: Pin A: Black (BLK) wire, Circuit 552, serves as the Sensor Return (Ground).  Pin B: Tan (TAN) wire, Circuit 472, carries the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) signal.  Pin C: Yellow (YEL) wire, Circuit 492, is the primary MAF Sensor Signal output to the PCM. Pin D: Pink (PNK) wire, Circuit 339 or 539, provides Ignition 1 Voltage (Power).  Pin E: Tan/Black wire, Circuit 552 or similar, often associated with the Intake Air Temperature ground or signal return.  Global-A list: https://postimg.cc/KKJnQC85

      Correct....the end user can't reach to Realtruck directly like they can if they purchase a Bak, Undercover, etc...  It has to go through a dealer.

      No, I did not tune out vvt. From what I read it should still be able to run without it, it'll just lose some torque/power.    I can see how that would make it not run correctly, but why would that cause the faulty MAF readings?   EDIT: I just ran a quick test and checked, and as I expected, the computer sees that the VVT cam phaser solenoid is not present, and throws a code for it, and does not try to change the cam angle at all. Commanded position just remains at zero, 100% of the time. This makes me think that the VVT is most likely not the cause of the problem though if anyone has a different/better explanation, I'm all ears.   UPDATE: I was able to find that my scan tool does indeed support reading the frequency (hz) off of the MAF (I thought it wasn't supported but turns out I just didn't know where to look for it). I noticed that regardless of engine state it always however this Is not what I observed with my multimeter. Like I said before, the MAF seems to put out a normal signal during cranking and then the signal drops to a very erratic reading once the engine is running. It seems from what my scan tool is telling me that the ECM is not recognizing this at all, and just reads 0 Hz 100% of the time. This pushes me towards the the PCM itself is faulty. I I have the PCM out of the 2007 donor vehicle, which I may try to connect and program (it's only ~50 bucks to get the software for a one-time programming)

      Did you tune out the VVT?  07-09 they did not have VVT.  2010-2013 they did.      If you haven't tuned it, its trying to adjust cam timing.
