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.

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou
