Following. There is basically no AT4 stock near me that has the trailer camera package, so hoping I can maybe add it later. I would love this for towing my RV.
I wouldn't hold your breath on that. GM has made it very difficult to add options later.

If you want the cameras you better order one with it already installed to insure you have what you want.

I work at a GM store and I am looking at getting a new body Silverado and ran across this issue myself. I want the "HD Surround Vision" camera package, but I am finding out that it isn't compatible wi

@Gypsy1962 did you get any good results after hooking everything up?  I'm in the same boat with the technology package and no aux camera option.

found that out the hard way too.  There was no trucks with the trailer camera package at any dealers around me, so i thought i could add it after too.  GM salesman even said i could of course...  Brought it in for an oil change and to have the camera added and they said its not possible on these new gen trucks...

I am curious if the rear trailer camera will stay on or if you just get an 8 second peek like you do when the camera is not connected. 
 

if I have to activate it for every look that seems to lessen the value. 
 

Thanks.

I have this plug on my 2019 GMC Sierra SLT Premium also.  Could you put this rear camera on a boat trailer?  Been trying to search for answer but no luck.  Thanks in advance!!

Best I can tell, at least in my 2019 SLT - the hard wire connections are there..  there is a connector behind the license plate that should be for a camera, and from 3rd hand information it seems the cabling is in the door/mirror for the side view trailering cameras...  so if you can get the cameras, great... what you'd be missing is the programming for the head unit to actually recognize them...  the dealer will most likely *not* do this.  Our only hope is to get somebody like WAMS to program it up for us :)

be warned though if your truck didn’t come with this it’s next to impossible to add after the fact...

Thanks!  Appreciate the quick reply.  I'm investigating whether not being able to add this is actually a fact.

Ordered a 2020 DENALI CARBON PRO 1500 and dealer said can't get the auxiliary trailer camera option cause of the technology package .This is crazy,you would think because of the technology package you can get the trailer camera option.

Well. I have the package and the camera on my 2020 NHT SLT.  I have a buddy with a 2020 Denali 3/4-ton that has the connection as well - but since his has the 360* cameras, his didn’t come with the separate cam.

 

I will go see him tomorrow and take my cam and we will just try it out.

Think the dealer led you astray. That was the case for 2019 but my understanding was they changed it for the 2020 trucks...

I have a 19 HC as well as the trailering aux camera kit and just ordered the connector # that 2kSierra was so kind to provide.  I'll connect the existing tied back camera cable that's already present behind the license plate to the new connector once I receive it.  Then, plug in the aux cam kit I already have and see where things go from there.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By Keith179 · Posted

      I’m out of ideas on this truck. 2020 Silverado 1500. 5.3 135,000 miles. Has a p0308 and p050d codes. Smokes From exhaust when cold. Compression test passed. New plugs, wires and coil on cyl 8. Same issue. New coil on 8, no change. Replaced injectors, no change. Bore scope showed oil pooled on the piston after sitting overnight. Pulled head and had machine shop check it out. No cracks. Stem seals looked good, replaced anyways. He also ground valve seats. Put it all back together and still have the same issue. Bore scope shows oil on the piston again. Leaning towards maybe a cracked ring but unsure. Cylinder looked good when the head was off, no scoring or scratches. Any ideas on what else I should look for?  Appreciate the help

      2021 Silverado 2.7L – N232395310 – Can someone with GM dealer access check my VIN?

      By HeronLeal · Posted

      Just want to make sure it is covered by Special Coverage N232395310 Evaporative Emission Purge Pump 2021 Silverado 1500 Custom 2.7L L3B ~100k miles I'm getting DTCs P146B and P146F. VIN 3GCPWBEK2MGxxxxxx   I spoke to a person that works at GM and he said it is not covered after checking my VIN.   Is there anyone here who currently works for a GM/Chevrolet dealership and has access to GM Global Warranty Management / Investigate Vehicle History who could explain how the VIN eligibility is determined?   thank you

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all that information, I might purchase one and see if it will work for me, if not they may let me return it! Yes for sure the tires are definitely within limit for my truck empty, and when I do tow I'll definitely make sure to raise the rear psi for the amount of weight that's going to be on it.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes exactly, more and more these days people/companies are afraid of liability issues so its easier just to say no rather than risk putting their neck on the line.    I will say with the Autel unit or when I used it last year on my truck, it wasn't like I could choose the 2025 model year or even the 2024 model year as that option was not there to manipulate the placard pressures but had to go back to 2023 or there abouts and then it showed up as an option, odd but that was how the software was then and I can't say one way or the other now as they throw out updates every so often. I still would talk to your tire dealer though to start with and they may do it for nothing but also they may have a comment on a better unit to purchase. All I know is that one of the large tire shops in my area happens to use these Autel units for their use and set them up to use the wifi and all of that jazz for constant updating because each tire tech has one handed to them by the shop but I just plugged it into my laptop to update it and yes if one is bought it has to be registered so you can get the link to do updates and then the unit has to be updated before its even used. I am not at all techy so it took me a bit but anyway just a heads up for anything you buy, most likely it will need to be connected to a computer to access the internet to have it updated to the latest software version before you can put it to use.   If your truck is near empty, those tire pressures you listed are a very safe upper range pressures to carry the weight, both the front and rear as I know they could be run lower yet with an empty truck. And if its a trailer and not some motorcycle your going to strap onto the front of your truck on a rack, you shouldn't have a need to inflate your front tires if your at 55 front already, its the rear ones that would need more air if you have much hitch weight.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.
