I recently purchased a used 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation Edition with option code IOB keyless entry.  I did not have two options that I really wanted; remote start (Ohio) and back-up camera.  I researched this forum and decided to get it installed.  I wanted OEM.  I have been successful.  Let me fill you on how I accomplished this.  First I purchased the following from GM Parts House online;  remote start (22997089), back-up camera (84062896), and tailgate handle (84016231).  

 

I installed the the camera first.  I removed the old tailgate latch along with it's wiring.  There are several YouTube videos on how to do this.  I put the camera into the new handle with 2 screws (not included) and attached to tailgate plugging the two plugs into their appropriate places (keyless tailgate lock and the camera).  I ran the wire the same as the one I removed and plugged it into the same outlet as the other under the rear of the truck.  It helps to drop the spare to do this.  Done.

 

I installed the remote start next.  This was surprisingly easy.  Kit comes with hood latch, wire harness, two key fobs, and activation code.  I replaced the old hood latch with the new (remove large plastic cover, remove latch with two bolts, replace with new latch).  Next I was looking at how I would run the harness when I noticed a female plug lying right next to the latch (see picture).  The plug off the new latch mated right up with it.  How could I be so lucky after reading on here from others on how to run the new harness?  It was all there already installed!  I replaced the plastic cover and was done.

 

A few days later I got it into my local GMC dealership who flashed the radio computer to activate both the remote start and back-up camera and they worked!  All together with tax the dealership charged me $193 to do the programming.  I already had the activation code they needed for the remote start but they had to call TCSC to get one for the camera and the download they needed to flash computer with.  

 

All in all this was super painless and pretty affordable.  I now have these two options and am pretty happy.

Do you know if you can get a non-chrome tailgate handle with the camera? I’m only seeing chrome ones. 

 

Also, what screen do you have? I want to make sure I order the correct part number so that I’ll have the same results.

So the wiring already there worked? i have a 2018 custom and want to add factory remote start but i notice the factory hood latch already has a plug on it and its plugged in. Im wondering if they just run the wiring now and all i need to do is buy the kit for the fobs and code and head to the dealer for the flash since the hood hinge seems to be the same as pictured.

I apologize for not answering this question from so long ago. Obviously not been back on here.  Anyhow, for anyone doing this in the future, yes all the wiring was already in place, I have a black tailgate latch not chrome, and I do have the remote locking tailgate.

      If we actually used any significant amount of that source in the USA then I'd agree but we don't. We've had that discussion before. We drill and pump more than we use. Thing is, we sell. We export. Gas and Crude. It's more profitable so any shortage here is self inflicted and LEGAL.    I worked a gas plant that has multiple fuel sources available and I worked in the furnace and boiler plant in that facility. I'd had days we swapped fuel types four times in a twelve hour shift which isn't done on supply but on margin. Two of the fuel sources are internally generated. Tail gas and DAK, both of which are sold as well a consumed. We always had more than we needed to run the process but we chose the fuel that produced the best margin not bought at the cheapest price always. A good bit of math to that and back in the time that was done on a slide rule.     I worked the Shale Oil Semiworks of Chevron Research and CONOCO Research in Salt Lake City. That process never went into production although it was very successful. Why? Did we lack oil bearing shale? Nope. Price of crude never made the margins work. That was in the late 70's early 80's. Remember history? What was happening then was a reaction to that situation. It didn't drive it. If so then it's easy. This isn't a supply and demand thing. This is a profit and margin thing and AI rules that now.    In no refining situation that I was ever in would a bomb hitting a well anywhere in the world 'instantly' interrupt or even distress the supply. Most plants have more than a months worth of crude in the tank field and more in pumping stations. That yo-yo could play out over days, weeks and maybe months and have zero impact on plant operations. How many times has this been off and on in the last few months? These people and not stupid. These plants measure down time in hundreds of thousands of dollars per day. They are not sucking fumes or waiting on the next truckload with baited breath. Besides, as I noted, they are for the most part 'vertically integrated'. They own it from the dirt is sits in to the delivery rack and sometimes to the pump. It has a HUGE shock absorber built in. When production suffers, refining wins and when refining is winning exploration is killing. The rest of that crap in the news is a 'news cycle'. Government dipping in to reserves? Oil is stealing their milk money. There's a reason Chevron abandon Venezuela infrastructure and it had nothing to do with security of US citizens. Nationals run those plants. it has to do with MARGINS disappearing to corruption. They are in no hurry to return. Is there supply there? Oh yea. More than enough to offset what is bought in the middle east. Just isn't ???? Profitable.    We have supply. There are places in Illinois you can drive a pipe into the ground and run your homes natural gas furnace on it.    A refinery fire will gum up the supply works but not a localized war where the market is using a limited supply from. Now Europe, that's something other....

      $4.00 a gallon here now.   Diesel nearly $5.00 again.

      If we're talking futures, yes, it's speculation.   The spot price of a delivered barrel is elevated now compared to before the conflict. And that is related more to current supply/demand.

      SPECULATION on the wars effect raised prices. AI is maximizing the profit. Refining is vertically integrated.
