I have a 2019 High Country that did come with all the cameras but the front one. I am having my local dealer install it. They said it was a plug and play. Just needed to have the infotainment system programmed. It is VERY pricy but I wanted it. Just FYI. It can be done.

Sorry i know its not the t1 style, I would still speak with mvi. Im sure they are working on it. Mvi keeps every retrofit oem.

 

 

search ebay for the kits. Bill craigem is a good one, email see what they have.

i would imagine ecomaster would make kits that are plug and play For the newer style.

 

go to a gm parts website and look through it, probably list the module harness camera in diagrams. Then find part #’s and start ordering parts.

Have anyone bought parts from this page ? Are they good?

Pricey, as in $500, 1000, 1500+? I called my service dept and they said no can do....

1400.00 I still have not had it installed as the virus has me delayed. I also don’t have 100% confidence that this dealer knows what they are doing. I will update as soon as I find out.

Thanks for the links, but contacted them and they said they do not have a current option if your radio RPO code is IOS like on the 2020-2021 LT with 7” screen! It is silly that GM didn’t have an option of multi cameras on their Off-Road TrailBoss!  It would also be great for parking.

Cheap and easy....

https://typesauto.com/collections/backup-cameras/products/type-s-wireless-6-8-inches-hd-solar-powered-backup-camera-with-extended-battery-bt530033

Available at Costco for a bit over $100 when on sale.

I put it on front LP because was frustrated could not gauge when close to poles, etc. 

thanks for the option, but I am looking for something more factory that I can use my built in screen like the reverse camera. Thanks again

Hi guys has anyone dug into the radio to see if it is possible to add a front camera to the system? 

 

Thanks for any help 

Here is one alternative that has worked out well on my 2020 Silverado Custom.

Hi, I have a practically new MVI Front Camera Module for the 2019 through 2021 Chevy Silverado or GMC sierra. This is a plug and play module which integrates with the existing radio and activates the front camera after a reverse activation such as in a parking situation or can be manually activated at any time by double pressing the mute button on the steering wheel.
 

I recently traded in my truck and removed the Module after only a month of having it on. I paid $375 for it, but would be willing to part with it for $275 to recover some of the cost because I can’t use it on my new truck.

 

I can be contacted at [email protected]. 
 

Thanks in advance!!

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Thanks - I wasn't quite caffeinated this morning. 2:1 makes sense, turning the crankshaft 360 degrees will turn the cam 180 degrees, and had I done that, the cam's dot would be at 6 and the crank's at 12 again.   I went ahead and took the sprocket off anyway, aligned everything dot-to-dot including the balance shaft just for s&g. I'm glad I did because I discovered no Loctite on the timing sprocket bolts. Maybe it's not required, but at only 20 ft-lb torque spec, those bolts aren't in there very tight. Cleaned and reassembled with some thread locker and torqued.   A general observation: Less is more with RTV. If a little doesn't stop a leak, a LOT probably won't, either. RTV is thinly veiled revenge, in a tube...

      The timing marks are ok, that is #1, you can turn it over until they line up and it won't change anything, the crankshaft turns twice for every camshaft revolution, I have always set up SB Chevs as your pic shows using a straight edge

      Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.
