I want to install the rearview camera into my 2015 1500, but I can't afford the programmer at the moment. Was hoping one of you guys has it laying around and wouldn't mind letting go of it. I'm barely able to afford the 300 bucks for the camera/tailgate handle itself, but that's obviously useless without the programmer that infotainment charges 200 bucks for. 

 

Any Help?

There are many aftermarket systems that are much less expensive and do a great job.  I know it is preferable to go OEM and use the existing monitor but if money is tight they are worth considering. .  I wanted a rear vision camera for my travel trailer and struggled with the same issue.  I ended up with a seven inch monitor on my dash with three wireless cameras for the kind of money you are suggesting.  It will serve as a dash cam, front parking assist, and trailer rear-view. I currently just use it like a dash mounted rear-view mirror when pulling my travel trailer.  It works well and my investment will not have to stay with the truck when I sell.  The monitor on the dash is bothersome for the first 5 minutes but now an integral part of the controls!

We can add that for you for $50. Only caveat is you'd need to ship your module to us.

I'd love to try. Do u not have to leave it in? Do you just plug it in and reprogram your truck then unplug it? I read on infotainment website that the same programmer is used for 2014 & 2015 Silverado's so it should work for mine.

Do you still have it? I would like to buy it and try it on my Silverado

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am not techy at all but wondered if you have the truck running but sitting still in park as some functions gray out as soon as the truck is moving. I believe in the settings for updates you can choose for it NOT to update and I wonder by chance if maybe that was chosen before and now it won't allow you to chose to press update, I think that is back in the settings menu where it has all the items one wants on or off etc. Also I assume you have a wifi connection and checked that it has some signal strength, not that it would have anything to do with the grayed out updates choice in that case. What I am thinking out loud of here may be be of no value but thought I would suggest it, sometimes it can be the simplest thing that resolves an issue.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The so called rare failure that some certainly liked to tout ( die hard Ford fan boys ) as per the lifter failing and wiping out the cam. Back when it started happening the blame was being pointed to the lifters and honestly I never did hear anything myself conclusively one way or the other on that. Ford themselves in I believe 2024 had a technical bulletin I will call it that came out and for some engine platforms they were reprograming the engines idle speed but also they had a software update for the oil pump which then some time later was said what that software update did as to be increasing the oil pressure at idle. It is a good question if that issue was completely solved as one Ford specialist mechanic youtuber said he saw failures after that time period. Like anything there would be the variables, what oil is being used and the OCI and how much idle time gets put on an engine. I've seen some comments to claim that the L8T isn't so happy with high idle time either but I also know that companies that require their vehicle to idle a lot on the job don't tend to get the oil changed often enough for all those hours of idle time and go off of the odometer.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By bwiese · Posted

      My 2026 Silv. 1500 WT (reg cab/short bed/4wd) has the 40/20/40 with storage in lower middle seat as well as the fold-down center bolster/armrest.   With the dual glove boxes this is about as much storage as possible in a std cab IMHO. Bill

      2026 Silv. 1500 WT reg cab: how many speakers do I have? Is amp module separate?

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a 2026 base 1500 "WT" regular cab with basic Chevy "Infotainment 3" 7-inch screen/radio. How many speakers do I have If I want to upgrade? Is the audio amp separate from the radio/display unit]? [I listen to classical and it gets a bit raspy at slightly higher volumes. Don't need a sub etc.] Do I have two or 1 speakers in the doors? etc. Thanks Bill  San Jose

      probably won't get a response from that user, as they haven't returned to the site since making that one post.  users don't (at least I don't, and I haven't seen any setting which would notify me via say, email) get any notification other than going to this site, and checking if they got a response on their thread...
