Camera Source Iphone HDMI Screen Mirror Failure - GM 2500 HD

[Buster Gorman]

Hi All, 

I installed this set up on my 2015 GM 2500hd - https://camera-source.com/automotive-cams/gm-front-side-cameras/2014-17-gm-front-camera-kit-for-8-display.html... 

The front camera works stellar, but I have yet to get the HDMI screen projection feature to work. I have been sent 3 replacement units from Camera Source and have been in contact with Camera Source but they have no solution... the HMDI to lightning port (since I have an iPhone) cord works perfectly on my TV, but the image comes up distorted and won't properly convey on the truck's screen. I have used several different HDMI cords, and tried a couple different phones, and iPad - all with the same exact issue. Does anyone have any experience with this product, and/or could help me trouble shoot this issue?

 

Possible lack of firmware update on the infotainment center?

Thank you!

If you have an iPhone 7/8 plus you may need to use it in landscape. It may not understand how to project in portrait mode on the screen like the TV does.

Great suggestion... I never even thought of that... 

 

Camera Source recommended I try the mirroring feature with a non-apple product: PC laptop, portable DVD player, etc... Not sure if that would do anything. But i'll have to try everything out to rule out all possibilities.
