Rear Camera - Not Very Clear?

[mattsvtcobra]

Has anyone else thought the quality of the rear view camera is weak? My 2015 was way clearer than this 2019. Maybe I need the dealer to look into it?

Mine is the same, Nav screen is very poor as well. I called the GM tech line and they confirmed that there is no contrast setting. I'm going to bring it to the dealers attention but I doubt it's going to get me anywhere.

I find this very frustrating too.
My fish finder has a better picture...even HD! Come on GM!

Anyone tried a 3rd party replacement? Recommendations?

My registration came in today so I stopped at the dealer to pick it up, while there I showed my salesman the nav and backup screens, he agreed it looked like crap. We went to 2 other 19 Silverados and they were both the same. He said hopefully there will be a software update to fix the issue.

My backup camera works good during the day but at night it's very grainy.

Not trying to troll here but to be realistic, yeah software updates won't fix cheap hardware issues like budget cameras and low resolution infotainment screens..  Like i said in other post here, i bet anything the infotainment setups in the 2019's are the same tech only with refreshed software ui's as the one in my 2014 when they started putting them in these trucks.

 

That's why people here like me with 14 and up models are disappointed to see the same shortcomings with the 14-18 models present again in the 19's! This setup should of been completely revamped for the 19's and made to compete with the now tesla style setup the competition has.

The infotainment units are the new Gen 3 boxes for the trucks [They have been installed in other GM products] with RPO codes IOR, IOS and IOT. They are faster and come with more memory.

The cameras are better than the previous models. There are hiccups that GM needs to correct somehow.

My 2019 Silverado rear camera only work good on day time. At night? It's terrible!!

I thought my 2016 Malibu rear camera was piece of junk but it's worse!

I don't agree. My 2015 SLT Sierra was 10 times better than this... even at night.

It does depend which unit you have IOR is 7" while the IOS and IOT are 8" HD video. My IOT and all the cameras on the HC looked better then my 2016 LTZ backup camera when compared.

I have a 14 HC in my company and the camera and Nav screen are much more crisp and clear than my 19 HC is

I found that there is some sort of interference when the lights are on with the cameras image on the infotainment screen. If you want to try it turn off your lights while backing up by rotating the light  knob CCW. You will see a much better image. 

Not sure what about the lights causes the interference yet. Possibly power lines to lights and camera lines are in the same bundle?

A software update for the Camera and Infotainment system was just released.  Check your Setting, About and you should have Build V509

Coming from a 2015 Nissan Titan, I'd say the screen is remarkably clear.
