"2015 Sierra Denali back up camera upgrade?"


Recommended Posts

Ok. New camera installed. Right off the bat, the picture is better. Is it worth it? To me...yes, but that's a subjective question. I'll know more after I go to hitch up the boat or trailer. If I can get them lined up without getting in and out 4 times, It will be a win for me. 
 
My only complaint is why do they have to include a pig tail to connect the camera wire to the factory plug in? The pig tail has the factory plug. And that's plug and play. Why didn't they simply make one wire from camera to factory plug-in rail. Like the original? And eliminate another tiny connector, which is a failure point, and a bunch of wire??? Way to much wire. 
 
Well we shall see how well this tiny connector holds up to weather and vibration. I zip tied the bundle underneath the rail... Protected somewhat by the spare tire. 
 
Easy install. Just need to drop spare down to get more room to work and do wear safety glasses... Lots of crud drops down into eyes as you are working under there. 
 
I'll report back more later.
 
Can u post pics of connector. I tried to make a aftermarket camera work with the connector for the oem camera

It's buried under the truck. But to give you an idea, it's a teeny weeny plug. With much smaller wire as well. Guess that's the way it comes from China...and the US guys made an adapter so it would be plug and play. Recommend you contact the people who sell them. Maybe they can get a pic. I wasn't smart enough to take pics as I installed the camera...sorry!
