Hello,

 

I have the HD camera in back with two views (one straight down at the hitch and the normal one looking straight back.  While driving and selecting the rear view camera for a quick view, I am always stuck with looking at the camera pointing straight down at the hitch.  I can't seem to successfully select the camera looking straight back while moving forward for a quick look.  What am I doing wrong?

Thats the way it is. The hitch view will come up. Now if you have the trailering package on a 2020 model, different story.

Hmmm, somehow I was able to get the rear view camera to come up while moving once, but haven't been able to do so since.  Maybe the system has to detect that a trailer is hooked up....

I’m able to get the rear camera to come up while driving by bringing up the main menu (home button?)and there is a selection for camera (possibly need to scroll right to see it) and the rear camera pops up while driving. Now I just have a LT TB with just the back up camera on the tailgate so I’m sure others have other options.

I was able to do this once as well, but can no longer do so.  All I get now if the camera facing down at the hitch.  The other options are grayed out.

Mine allows me to do this in drive, but I have to be at a stop (i.e. at a light). If my truck is moving, I only get the hitch.

My truck shows the normal rear view while in motion. 

 

Maybe it is model and option specific that dictates the view of the camera?

I can view both while moving. I can switch between the hitch view and the rear view in motion for 8 seconds at a time. I get front view, rear bed view, tailgate rear and hitch.

Yeah I have the trailering  package and my son loves to use it in motion to see "who's at our six" Must be a difference in the HD and non HD camera package.

I wish it was a longer time (15-20 secs would be good) but I’m happy they provided some access while in motion.

It's kinda like that annoying warning that pops up and you have to hit ok. The timer is so you don't focus on whats behind you while running into whats in front of you.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.

      That dog don't hunt. 😏   First, a 2025 with 12K on the clock AND idled for a year nonstop is false on it's face; this is 2026. You can do one or the other but not both.    Second, ENGINE HOURS are absolutely available. The rest is third grade math. Micky Mouse scanner he got out of a box of Cracker Jacks OR an ID10T error.    Third, if they ran it out of oil "Several times" that motor is boned on the first hit.    Does this guy think piling higher makes it stink less?

      That's interesting, I assume that would add to the cost of the oil but also I was forgetting to bring up the issue of the low tension rings allowing more oil past which in turn forces the cats to have more oil additives pass through them that wouldn't otherwise so they are creating that problem and of course its all in the name of fuel economy. Mind you the other issue would be the lack of additives that fight the formation of carbon within the piston ring grooves which turn the engine into an oil burner and with in this GM forums case is your average off the shelf Dexos licensed oil, meanwhile the other off the shelf oil being Valvoline's R&P isn't licensed and the only one that is which is that certain Mobil oil that came out recently ( its not even being marketed in Canada ) and only a fraction of vehicle owners are going to be using it out of all the other oils on the shelf or the quickie lube bay that meet the Dexos spec by way of actual licensing.    Also I suspect that its an easy excuse to pool the non turbo DI engines in with the turbo DI engines and design the oil to not have LSPI issues in the most demanding engines and short change the naturally aspirated DI by not offering a higher concentration of additive package they could handle and still not be at risk of LSPI.    I wonder if Amsoil flipped the switch just lately and did whatever packaging designation at the same time as I wonder what oil formulation I would have bought in May, of course I don't know when it was packaged at the factory vs how long it was in storage at the Edmonton warehouse. I know its been said at least in the past that the big players switch over to a reformulated oil but the packaging has not changed until they make that move as well so there is that cross over time where its a new formulation in a predated formula marked package.

      Hmm. A real reason to not just use the odometer to determine OCI?
