Thanks, Cool J, That's exactly where I am looking. Mine is a little different. They said they will look at it (I sent the email to them with the need on Friday) and get back to me with a quote.

No experience with the 5th wheel. Interested to see how the cables work with one.   https://www.shopchevyparts.com/trailering/2020-silverado-2500-auxiliary-trailer-camera-vehicles-with-trail

I am posting the following link to another section of this forum for moving the bumper plug with video plugs to the bed location.

How did you get the invisible camera function to work? What measurements did you  put into the trailer setup. My camera does not provide a seamless picture like yours does. It seems like my camera is waayyy more :fish-eyed and there is a huge discrepancy between it and the side-view cameras.

I have the connector moved to the truck box and the 5th wheel wire for the rear camera just above my rear window. For the life of me I cannot access the trailer measurement screen. Do I have to have the trailer connected? is it in the profile? Dealer was no help. I saw it originally before I put the camera on but cant find it now. Need help. BTW for those with 5th wheels, I ran cable along rail all the way to front of camper to the propane storage area. Drilled a hole to get to the front storage and ran the cable between the frame and skin to the pin box, Sorry no pics as the trailer is covered and in storage for the winter.

The trailer measurement screen is dependent on the type of trailer you select in your trailer profile.  I know for 2020, you can only enter dimensions on certain conventional trailer profiles.

If you can post pictures of your image and where you mounted the camera on trailer, we can try to help.

I've been looking for an extension from the connector under the bed, I take my tailgate off for my RV and that makes the camera system unusable. Buying the factory extension that plugs into the rear dual sockets won't help as I need to use the pickup after I reach my destination and remove the RV. I bought an aftermarket camera that will plug in to that under bed connection, but it requires me to craw back under the pickup each time. I need a 3 or 4 foot extension Male to Female coax that when I remove the tailgate, I can route it through the opening at the license plate area, and then hook up the aftermarket camera. I could also easily unplug when going to a store or after I launch my boat. Has anyone come across a part like this? It can even be longer.

dealers can delete that option ....but it is customer pay  to prog system to ignore tailgate camera

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By DaleB · Posted

      Thanks, all. It sounds like keeping the software "as is" is the best course of action.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overengineering   Excerpt from the above link: (BTW the above is a 90 second read)   [Quote]   A story about very precise engineering is given in the 1858 story The Deacon's Masterpiece or, the Wonderful "One-hoss Shay": A Logical Story by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., which tells of a carriage (one-horse shay) Because it had been engineered so that no single piece failed first – no piece was over-engineered relative to the others, and they thus all collapsed at the same time. A similar quote by Ferdinand Porsche claimed "the perfect race car crosses the finish line in first place and immediately falls into pieces."[5]   [End Quote}   By Engineering's  own definition then; the AFM and Torque Converters, 4-5-6 clutch assembly of the 6L80E, and a dozen other common chronic parts and systems failures are "UNDER ENGINEERED". And by their own definition done so with INTENT. Ya can't have it both ways OEM's.

      Broke Down on the Mountain

      By Gangly · Posted

      I was in Utah this week attempting a bow hunt in the Wasatch mountains with friends.  On the evening of the first hunt, making my way across a ridge to a friends camp, the upper control arm on the driver's side separated, the CV axle got trashed, and the wheel was dang near at a 45 degree angle to the ground.  I was able to get it towed off the mountain and into town about 3:00 am, and spent the remainder of the night in an O'Reilly's parking lot.  Luckily, there was a Chevrolet dealership not to far away so I was able to get to the dealership and pick up a new CV and UCA.  It would have been a few days before they could have gotten to the truck and I brought tools with me on hunt since it was a two day drive to get there, so I did the repairs myself in the O'Reilly's parking lot.      What's interesting is that the UCA ball joint didn't break, it just popped out of the bottom of the UCA.  There was VERY LITTLE evidence of grease on the ball joint or in the socket, and you could see where the ball joint had warbled out part of the socket over time.  I guess that's what happens over 186K miles of use :)   Big Kudos to O'Reilly's for letting me work on the truck in their parking lot.  However, they made a $150+ off of me from the purchase of various tools, so I guess it was in their best interest anyways :)   Getting towed off the mountain.   UCA Ball Joint Socket   Trashed CV   Suspension disconnected and UCA and CV Removed   New UCA and CV installed with the suspension buttoned up.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      My family still laughs at me when they see me drive up in the minivan. Same with less than a V-8 truck. It helps that I have choices. I don’t think I could only have a minivan as the one and only vehicle as much as I like it. And I wouldn’t pass up a good buy on an older V-8 reg cab GM truck. Could you live Raven as the only ride?
