Will installing the HD camera fix this issue or do we need to get the screen also? Coming from a 2012 F150 with the reverse screen in the rear-view mirror and it was way better. We lost a family member in a vehicle reverse situation and I am very very cautious in the driveway with the car. This is garbage.

I don't agree with you. There is no way you can park this monster without back up camera and without hitting anything in tight spaces. Also, how will you hook your trailer without helping by someone e

For those who have this issue, try this: after cranking up the engine wait 30 seconds before put it in the gears. Some issues were existed with HD cameras long ago and before latest updates. Still aft

Rearward visibility is required by law, it's not a "luxury".  It's a law because people have died.  There is no way you can see what's below behind your tailgate from inside the cab with just your mir

I am wondering the same. Replacing the camera would actually be really easy "it looks like." Remove the tailgate flat bottom plastic cover and then from there you can remove the top plastic cover. Camera is held by 2 screws and uses a simple connector that you can pull right off and plug back in to the new hd cam.

So the dealer told me that I had the low def camera. I told him then I want have the high def one installed. He told me it could not be installed.

i would need to install an after market one. 
 

I was so mad I left. So I don’t know if an aftermarket one can be installed in place of the one already installed. 
 

I read on other forums that due to voltage you can’t just in stall one.

I recently traded in a 2017 Silverado 1500 with a clear back up camera and got a 2020 Silverado LT Double Cab and the camera sucks at night very fuzzy, I spoke with the service Manager and all he had to say it was a low res camera and not a HD one like in my 2017. I am not happy with the answer and complained to the sales person and all she had to say was that's because I didn't get the higher end model which is a crap excuse if you ask me. Why would GM just put HD camera's in all their vehicles the cost can't be that big a difference.

Anyone been able to get the “flickering” back up camera fixed? My dealer replaced my back up camera and it did not fix the issue. They started a tac case but GM has not responded.

Hi Jay, any updates?

 

I do agree this unsafe, and for those who say we didn't have cameras back in the day. I tell them yeah we didn't have carseats either but I won't put my daughter in the back a station wagon amd raddle her around.. these inventions supposed to improve our life quality/safety. I notived mind at night is so bright and useless it even makes the back mirror hard to. I shouldn't have to cover my screen when backiing up at night. Going to bring it to the dealership and file a complaint with NHTSA if the dealer don't resolve it.  Honestly, if GM don't fix this and wait till someone run over their tuddler and GM have a big lawsuit.

I thought there was a new TSB for the backup camera. You could try looking around the forum for a post on it.

Might as well post the tsb in this thread as well. It is quite an improvement.

Update: no more super bright blinding screen after tsb. Picture is a bit clearer as well. Definitely not like the hd camera but I’m much happier now.

Got it fixed today. Still can't control brightness. However, it seems like it is dimmed all the way down which is ok.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
