Here's the link to the piece.  It is made by Echomaster and the instructions PDF is under Downloads.  Looks pretty simple.  Just press and hold the BACK button on the radio to activate.

Gotcha - So this leverages the Echomaster Intellihaul setup. Was hoping for a solution to integrate a front camera only that works just like the reverse camera, without having to get the interface module that Intellihaul comes with.

Yeah.  A simpler interface would be nice.  Someone needs to make a cable that interrupts the input to the screen via a trigger and offers a composite input.  That's how we used to add video inputs to BMWs and the such several years ago.  There was a company called NAV-TV that made them.  But apparently since it's a truck they want to make more complicated towing options instead.

This is EXACTLY what I was looking to achieve.

Take a look at the link below. I spoke to Wes with ADC Mobile for almost 45 minutes yesterday, and after the conversation I felt confident in not only the product but how simple the installation process would be. 

 

It's true it's not as easy as just plugging one cable in to interfere, but it's not that much tougher. You unscrew the glovebox compartment to access, run one wire from the driver's side junction box for power and one wire through an existing grommet on the passenger side of the firewall to the front for the power to the front camera.

 

This kit also includes the ability to play ANYTHING via an HDMI input, potential to pull these cameras up while driving (just adds a 3rd menu page in its entirety), and for $80 you can purchase their front camera, $80 for a set of sideview mirror cameras, and $169 for a 3rd brakelight replacement camera or wireless towing camera. The front cam you can set up to be active in Drive while you're under a certain speed and the sideview cameras are pre-set to activate in unison with your turn signals.

 

He indicated because of the utility and ease of this product for the Silverado/Sierras, he sells more of these than all of his other products combined! Seems like the results speak for themselves.

If I take in my truck for them to install this and they see I have added led front turn signals and resistors, will they void my warranty?

Magnusson-Moss act requires the dealer to show a CLEAR link between any issue you are having and modifications you’ve made to your vehicle in order to void that particular warranty coverage.

For example, your resistors may void any warranty claims you have in the future if you have a turn signal bulb socket/wiring issues and you want it replaced under warranty but it won’t void your warranty if your OEM struts break in half while under warranty.

Warranty isn’t an all or nothing, it’s a lot of little pieces.

I've been looking into doing something like this to my truck. Having a front facing camera would be awesome in the dunes!!

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      There are no stickers in your glovebox?

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
