Back-up Camera Distorted

Hello All!  I do apologize if this has already been tackled.   I did do a cursory search and could not find this in the HD forum at the very least. 


We were able to finally able to pick up our 2020 GMC AT4 HD 3500 this past Saturday.  Everything with the back-up camera seemed normal the first few time we back-up up.   Then, I’m unsure if I did something messing with the setting or jostling thru the different camera views or what...but now the camera, when you go into reverse looks like this!   It is all skewed and stretched.  
 

Has anyone seen this before1. Figured I would approach y’all before spending the time going back to the dealership!

 

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, Thank you!.

Totally normal wide angle lens view.  My biggest gripe is that the lines don't exactly show you where you're going.  They were spot on in my Colorado, but in the 2500 they're more annoying than useful.  Dealership said there is no way to adjust it, and I haven't found anyone that can either.  Maybe someone out there knows a trick?

I would like to say too that it is normal!  But I know it worked as my 2015 Denali HD that I traded in when we first picked it up and came home.  That was this past Saturday.  Sunday is when we noticed this, when we went out and about to put a few miles on her, we got home, backed in as we always do...that was the image we got.  Its really weird and disorienting!

I'm having the same issue with the lines being completely off (by feet) when backing up with the wheels cut.  Appears they used the 1500 programming and the HD has a longer wheelbase so you end up 3-5 feet off of where the lines started to send you.  My dealer is "looking into it" with GM engineers, but don't have a solution yet.

I figured it was calibrated for another truck.  So dumb.

 

If you hear anything about a fix please please please post it here.  This is literally my biggest gripe with this truck.

Mine looks nothing like that - I have a normal view without any distortion. Yours looks like it is combining the hitch view with the back up camera giving a strange view...Is it a setting or view that you might have toggled to???

I just checked, and mine looks normal with the split screen (surround view on left side).  If I remove the split screen, the rear view is distorted - system stretches the image to fit the scree.

FYI to others - there was an OTA update for infotainment that got installed on my truck a few days ago.  Seems to have fixed the camera issue.  Haven't tried hitch mode yet, but regular mode has the lines in a much better location.  They're also slight different - thinner than they showed before.

      Trailer Cameras Not Working
      By Bazel
      I purchased my 2020, 2500 Duramax in September. I ordered it with the all of the trailering features.
       
      I also ordered an auxiliary camera to attach my travel trailer, which I installed in November. 
       
      It worked great for the first two months.
       
      Six weeks ago it stopped working completely. 
       
      I tried every combination of plugging and unplugging, cleaning connectors, switching between the interior and exterior jack.  
       
      Finally, I removed it from the trailer and took it to a Chevy dealer.
       
      They let me plug it into one of their trucks to see if it was the camera or my truck that was the issue.
       
      The camera did not work on their truck either.
       
      Chevy sent me a replacement camera under warranty, which I received last week.
       
      After installing it, it worked great for two days, then stopped.
       
      Has anyone else had similar problems?  

       
      Thank You

      Denali grille to SLT (camera & install)
      By ZeeDunny
      Just picked up a Denali Grille w/ camera and am wondering if anyone has done the install themselves and ran into any issues hooking up the camera? I’ve only seen a few videos online of the new body style sierra grille replacement but am unsure if the camera addition will give me any issues. All help appreciated!  
       
      Will be posting before and after photos as well??

      Front camera
      By FuzzyNuggets
      I own a 2020 trail boss and it boggles my mind that GM did not offer a front facing camera on their off-road purpose TrailBoss! Not only would it be great for parking but even more important when approaching off road obstacles. Does anyone make or have installed a front facing OEM style camera that integrates with the RPO code IOS 7” screen?

      Total Camera Failure
      By Dean Fischbeck
      I drive a 2020 Sierra 3500HD Denali 4X4.  Used mainly for towing a 5th wheel.  We purchased the GM rear-view trailer camera and had the RV dealer install it.  It works fine, but this has happened twice (out of maybe 40 hitchups) . . .
       
      During the process of hitching up, everything works fine.  One of the last things we do is turn the engine off, plug the rear-view trailer camera in, and then restart the engine.  Cameras all work, we're good to go.  But then after we shift into gear, ALL the cameras go dead (except for the rear-view mirror).  We turn the truck off and restart . . . doesn't help.  We call our GMC salesman who helpfully suggests that we disconnect the battery, wait 15 seconds, and then reconnect so the system can reboot.  This works and we're off.  He also intimated that a software update from GM might fix the issue.  This has only happened during hitching up, never during an unhitched start-up.
       
      Today we took the truck to the GMC dealer for routine maintenance and the Service guy said he is unaware of a bulletin, notice, or rumor regarding camera failure.
       
      Has this happened to you?
