I believe with the uvi system you can only get 8 secs of viewing behind the trailer when above 10 mph.  If you stay below 10 mph the trailer cam will stay up.

For those who want transparent trailer to work on conventional trailers, I have attached the trailer camera install location.   Before purchasing the camera you may want to check this location on your

My dealer just checked today. The trailer TPMS is $150.00 per two. Quite abit more than if I would have ordered the four with the truck. Sorry I didn’t ask for part numbers.

There are buttons on the door handles. The running boards do not look as clean as the retracting ones on the 1500 but I dont mind them.

So while pulling a trailer down the road, you have to go through the menu, pull up the camera view to see behind you, and you only get that view for 8 seconds?

 

That is really disappointing.  I don't really want to pay for the invisible trailer option, I just wanted to be able to view behind me.  I've been pulling campers and boats for 30 years with out it, so I guess I can live with out it, but I was looking forward to it.

The rear trailer cam will stay on as long as you want it to, regardless of speed.

Which system are you referring to?  270 or 360 deg?

The rear trailer cam on my 5th wheel. I can select it and it will stay on as long as I want, if needed. The others have a limited time to view, but not the rear trailer camera. Not that I've experienced, anyway.

There are two systems that accept trailer cams.  Do you have cams in mirrors and front grill?

You have the 360 deg system (uvs).  The other poster has the 270 deg (uvi) system.  The 270 deg system has more limited functionality.   No transparent view, no turn signal bias, no turn bias, and no Camara views for longer than 8 sec above 10 mph.

Ahhh, got it. Makes sense. Learn something new (or at least try to) every day.

I'd like to give an update on the external trailer camera functionality I experienced during my last trip.  To my delight, I can confirm that with the 270 deg system, you can watch this camera view for as long as you want even above 8 mpg.  In the camera view selection page on the console where you can select backup view, truck bed view, internal trailer view, or the external trailer view, I was able to select the external trailer view and keep this view up for as long as I wanted.  You have an option to either tap the black box X on the top right of the view, select another camera view, or come out of the camera view selection page all together.  I was very pleased to be able to do this.  It is VERY helpful to see the traffic behind you instead of it being usable only for backing up situations.  No "invisible view' of course but hey, you can see everything regardless!

 

I will say this, and I saw this in another post, that you need to make sure you that you truck is powered off when making the camera connection to the back.  If you do it while the truck is running, you may or may not have the external trailer view option available to you for whatever reason.  Also, one last odd situation.  I was never able to use this camera view while in the trailer app on the console.  It'll detect the camera as it will give you an option to "preview" the view, but when making that selection, it'll ask if you want to "open this view in the app".  Thus far, nothing ever happens when selecting this option, you can keep tapping this box over and over again but again, nothing happens.  It never opened.  In other words, if you want to view your external trailer camera, you will need to exit the trailer app so that you can go into the camera view selection page.

 

Hope this helps others when deciding to purchase the external trailer camera!  I'll give an update if I am ever able to make this work within the trailer app.

 

Thank you!

Great info!  Thanks for the update. 

Do you know if you have the rescue mirrow with the video screen if you can put the trailer camera view on the mirror?

You can not put the trailer camera display on the rearview mirror. It would be really cool if you could though.

No doubt!  That is a great idea actually.

 

Another idea I have is I wish there was a way to display the front senor detection to the 8 inch screen and alert there just like the cross traffic alert that is displayed there.  It is hard to see the front sensor detection display behind the steering wheel at times.

Another great option would be the ability to have the side mirror view on the 8 inch display when the turn signals are on and there is no trailer hooked up.

I had this set up on my 2016 HD 2500 with the Aftermarket cameras and I think it works better than the blind spot sensors (especially if your wife is watching the screen!).

Keeping this thread alive, as it is a good one. I just purchased a 3500 SLT loaded like a denali. Bought the tpms sensors for my prograde trailering system, thank you all for that. Question on the CAMs. How the heck is everyone running the wire? I guess there is no wireless option? I want to do the interior one in garage to watch my harleys and the rear to just see what's behind me.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
