Hey guys,

 

With all this free time we’ve got now, finally around to sharing my BlackVue 2 channel dash cam install.

 

Worked with thedashcamstore.com, and they’re phenomenal. Free shipping, great customer service.

 

Dash Cam:

 

BlackVue DR750s-2CH

 

https://www.thedashcamstore.com/blackvue-dr750s-2ch-dual-lens-dual-1080p-gps-wifi-dashcam-for-front-and-rear/

 

I used the BlackVue Power EZ cable that uses the OBD-II port. This allows parking mode.

 

Mount:

 

Blendmount for BlackVue.

 

https://www.thedashcamstore.com/blendmount-blackvue-dashcam-mirror-stem-mount-standard-series/

 

The install was easy. Concealed the wires via behind headliner and panels. Power and coaxial cable for the rear camera conceal perfectly in center windshield crash detection system module. Took me 2 hours total.

 

The camera system is exceptional with 1080P HD video and audio. Perfect day and night video.

 

On to the pictures!

 

Windshield has Llumar Air Blue 80 ceramic clear film. (Amazing BTW!)

I want to do the same thing but I don't know if another BlendMount will fit on my mirror - it's already occupied.
 
Hmmmm....you've got me thinking now...

It looks like you can “blend” mounts together?

How did you feed the wire to the back camera? 
Did you lower the headliner, or find another way?

Looks good. How'd you mount the rear camera?

Left rear window. The center sliding opens to the trucks right side so it was the only place closest to “center”.

It was very easy actually. The center bezel for the FWD crash detection system components easily removes. Then, I removed the screw(s) for the drivers side sun visor mount and the sun visor mount itself allowing the headliner flexibility. Also, removed both bolts of the driver side A pillar for panel flexibility as well. Then using an array of panel removal tools I concealed the power and coaxial cable. The coaxial I kept in the ceiling all the way to the left rear cabin for the rear camera and the power down the A pillar to the OBD-II port.

Nice setup, very similar to mine, except I don't have a rear camera.

 

What fuse did you hook it to? My camera shuts off every time the auto-start comes back on. It thinks it's getting plugged back in, it's pretty sensitive.

 

I tried the fuse with the radio, but because the radio starts up when you open the door, the camera then shuts off when I turn the truck on.

I was able to grab both constant and switched power in the passengers fuse box. I will try to find a picture

You can use the heated steering wheel fuse. Works fine on mine.

Thanks Flyinwells!  This was very useful in getting me started on my Blackvue install.  I made a new topic with a PDF of my install and some of the issues I encountered.  I also included a link back to your article as well.  I am definitely going to upgrade to the mount you are using in the near future.  Thanks again!

My BlackVue DRS900-1CH doesn’t shut off plugged into the cig lighter. Parking mode works just fine. I just haven’t spent the time tucking the wire.

 

Nice work though!

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.
