Has anyone tried to mount the camera with adhesive tape instead of putting holes in the back of your trailer?  Curious if it will hold with the rough ride of a travel trailer?  I’m going to install my camera this weekend. 

Yes, I installed mine with 3M automotive tape back in March with no issues so far. I also spun the camera around so the cable came straight out the bottom instead of looping over the top.

There are two systems that accept trailer cameras.  There is a base system where you just get bed camera, hitch camera, and two trailer camera inputs (UVI).  The uplevel system (UVS) has 360 deg camer

If the truck is calibrating, then the dimensions should be fine.  I would first look at the angle of your camera, it needs to be at 35 degrees (0 deg is straight down).  For calibration, you need to d

Thank you.  I ordered some 3m tape to try myself so your feedback makes me feel me feel better about the use.  I was thinking about a smaller diameter self tapping screw in addition to the tape but really would like to avoid holes in the back trailer wall. I plan to run my cables underneath too.

Yeah, there was no way I was going to drill a hole in the wall of my new travel trailer! Seems to work great, knock on wood....

Mine is held on the rear glass window with 3M tape.  I'm pretty sure it won't fall off and removing it would be a chore if I ever decided to do sol

I get the “Needs to be Calibrated” screen. Drove about 20 miles, but never got the Transparent Trailer view, just the split 3 camera view and the blind spot warning when I turn on the blinker. Any ideas how to get the Calibrating to finish properly? 2023 Denali 1500 with OEM GM trailer camera.

Attached a few photos.

Yes, I drove 25 mph but never saw a progress bar under Invisible Trailer view in Camera APP. I’ll remove the spare tire and see if that helps. If it works, can I return the spare, or should I use the time to relocate it somewhere else?

You can reinstall after calibration.  If you still have problems, you may want to change one dimension by an inch.  It sometimes doesn't like shadows, so may need to drive in opposite direction if you see a large shadow.  I hope this helps.

      Oil Consumption

      I agree.   However, the owner's manual, suggests that a drop over full is just as bad as a drop under. (Read black and white letters only, insert no common sense.)

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      That P0700 and loss of power suggests something significant is amiss to me.   More/other codes may suggest otherwise; I would investigate those prior to spending the money to change fluid on a transmission with a bad torque converter.    The relatively sudden escalation of symptoms to me suggests that something began failing (initial shuddering experienced) and rapidly deteriorated (slipping/loss of power). Fluid condition alone wouldn't cause the sudden escalation of problems - though it might have been the cause of the deterioration up to the point of failure.

      AWD conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack operation is in a sense a separate/independent operation from the operation of 'traction control'. Stabilitrack is used to keep the vehicle traveling in the DIRECTION intended, it can brake independent wheels and or adjust throttle to influence the direction the vehicle is moving.   This can be illustrated by a 'fish-tailing' example. At high speeds, if the stabilitrack detects excessive yaw (the vehicle spinning like a top, it has a sensor for this), based on inputs from steering angle it determines that the vehicle is spinning out of control, and begins working to control that unintended spin. By reducing throttle input or braking specific wheels to control or prevent the spin.   The traction control works similarly using the ABS system to slow spinning wheels and thus transfer power to 'other' wheels. The goal being to achieve wheel speeds that are all in agreement with each other, the truck then assumes that since all the wheels speeds are the same no spinning is occurring. For example, launching up a wet boat ramp, there is no excessive yaw present, traction control alone can manage the wheel spin by braking spinning wheels and cutting throttle.   Stabilitrack and traction control from a hardware and software standpoint are basically one in the same, I don't remember specifically in 2004, but you couldn't get a truck with one and not the other. The switch on the dash, could turn off the traction control, but not necessarily the stabilitrack.    A confusing comment about stabilitrack vs. traction control, the same components serve both operations, but marketing could advertise them as two separate features.    The AWD system is another separate system entirely, in addition to the other two, it uses the same wheel speed inputs but can also vary the transfer case clutch application to direct some power to the front axle, working in conjunction with the traction control to bring wheel speeds together.   The power split will never be greater than 50:50, the same as 4-high. It will never direct MORE power to the front axle than the rear.

      Start-Stop ?

      Not based on the new photos I'm seeing.  Car and Driver posted additional photos that shows an auto stop start button left of the steering wheel.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Car and Driver is reporting wireless CarPlay WILL remain, and they posted several additional photos, including a left knee shot, but the only hard buttons there are e-brake, auto start stop, tailgate and cargo light.  Also definitely looks like High Country and ZR2 get micro fiber on the center of the console lid and the ZR2 possibly also on the seats.
