There is a thread in this forum that has a discussion about this and additional reverse cameras etc; It has links to equipment etc. I want to add a front camera as well.

This is it in motion...obviously a phone recording isn't gonna do justice but you get the idea!! I use this everyday in tight parking spots or whatever I want or need to see up front. Sent from m

Lerbud, when you installed your camera, did you have any problems running the cables and was it a plug and play or did it require a visit to the dealer for programming?  Thanks for any help you can provide.

All plug and play.  Hardest part was getting the cable through the firewall grommet.  You dont even have to run a power or ground as it uses the factory stuff.

Thanks Lerbud, that is $60-70 less than best I had found.

When it's all installed, just hold the back button on the infotainment system for 3 seconds and it switches to the front view and it will stay on the front camera until you hit the back button again!! What's cool is, you can drive with it on all the time

Is there any way to do this with the backup camera?

Yeah I installed one in my Trax, very handy come insurance time.  Practically invisible and records 1080P.

Installed it in front of rear view mirror where both wipers sweep and keeps the windshield clean.

Someone asked earlier about having a backup camera that can be controlled while in motion. I have the Rostra interface installed on my truck and put a 3rd brake light camera on as an option. This system also lets you mirror your phone, and can add a 360* view with cameras if you’d like. Easy to install, just takes time to make sure wires get tucked cleanly behind the dash. I’ve been running it for a month now with no issues.

I just purchased from shopchecyparts.com and received the 5% new customer discount.  With the cheapest shipping, at $19, and with the discount it came to $399.61. 

 

From what I have read, it seems like a pretty easy install.  I am hoping with this kit I can upgrade to additional cameras in the future.

Update, I received the Echomaster Intellahaul front camera system.  Extremely easy install.  Just watch the videos on Youtube by Echomaster.  The hardest part was going through the firewall.  There is a rubber grommet, where the main wiring harness goes through, but there seems to be multiple layers to it and under the dash you can't seem to get your hand through all the mechanicals to even get to the grommet.  In about an hour or so it was complete.  The instructions state to put the camera right under the bowtie but I chose to go lower after what Jmiller11331 recommended.  All in all I am very happy with the result.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Why don't I have a good scanner? I've always wanted one when I've needed one.   My latest reading says I don't need to do a relearn on the ckp sensor on a 1995 with OBD 1.5. The relearn is prescribed for the later-model 1995's which shipped with actual OBD II when GM completed the transition in prep for the 1996 MY. I need to confirm that. Did you know forums are disappearing? Knuckleheads on Facebook... it's not the same. It's just not.   So, scanners. Again, shooting myself in the foot for having eBayed my Snap On MT2500 "brick" with all the adapters. Not that I couldn't buy another but those are getting quite old, and mine wasn't new enough to work on 2000's vehicles.   Damn it (as I'm scanning my email between paragraphs here). Did you know there's a 2000 Jimmy 2-door on BaT that's ending this morning? It's local. I want it. 14k miles. Absolutely beautiful.   Back to scanners. MT2500's are old. Solus, now that could be a contender. There's a ~2008 Verus with a system error that's basically new in box for cheap. Hmm...I'm not sure about a scanner that runs an archaic version of windows (95 or CE, I can't tell).   I want the ability to reset and rotate TPMS, test individual modules, bleed ABS, electronic parking brake controls for servicing brakes, relearn procedures and other bidirectional controls.   Snap On does an MT2600. It's a new model as of last year, marketed as their "entry" scanner. Entry? Only where $1900 gets you through the doorway plus, I'm guessing, $1000/year if you wish to keep it current. So goes scan tools actually designed for production environments. Want decent products with excellent support, you pay for it.   Everyone is raving about Autels and TopDons and Foxconns and all these newer brands that are selling the $500 "prosumer" scanners for backyard hacks like me. They're tempting...honestly. Updates are cheaper, base prices are remarkably cheaper... And you get to deal with bugs and translation whoopsies and, well, just don't use it on anything expensive, OK? Having a dealer replace an ECU because it needs to be re-imaged after an adventure in scanning is no joke. But I think most people are getting by OK with these units.   eBay on a scratch-and-sniff pro-model oldie, a shiny new TopDon, or???   God dang it, I can't stop looking at this Jimmy. I'm ready! I'll Bring The TRailer! It's beautiful.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      I removed the OE running boards.  It looked so much better.  I wish I took them off a long time ago.     I had to put something back on for my wife.  I wanted Westin Sure Grip Running Boards but they are very pricey, like $600 plus.  I was going to go with the Ionic 41's like I had on the 2019 Silverado but went with Westin Outlaw Drop Steps instead, about $200 cheaper.  They are sturdy and functional but not super crazy about the look, but it works.

      Disable DRL's

      By fondupot · Posted

      I had a Gen5DIY DRL relocate harness from a 2022 1500 that I saved. I had Gen5DIY modify the harness for my 2024 Silverado 2500. Plug n Play, worked perfectly.    Here's a video I made for the 2022 1500 truck. The install is more or less the same on a 2500.    The harness relocates the DRL tot he top amber turn signal on my 2500.

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.
