Total cost with install?

The Serria nose is wayy too pug nosed to accurately place the front nose. Combined with no parking sensors make placement expecially on trails hard.

I have around $1500 in total with reprogram.  I can sell old mirrors and swapped rear cam to recoup some costs.  I did the work myself so no labor cost besides the reprogram.  It is a lot of money but it was fun to learn about and prevented some curb rash dollars.

If I have an Elevation with the preferred package and prograde trailer system. (HD backup with hutch guidance)

Will I be able to upgrade? Also any idea the part number on the trailering mirrors with cameras?

do you have bed view camera on your high mount brake light? if yes, it probably will work. my old VPM was part number 84717434.  look up video on how to remove rear seat back on youtube and see if its there.

No bed view camera.

the lemon LTZ had it but I couldn't figure out a way for the side mirror to show an image when the blinker was on, maybe the trailer had to be connected?

if no bed view cam you probably dont have a VPM or harness to do this.  on mine, for turn signal camera view to display automatically trailer has to be plugged in.

wish the dealer would have told me that. Then again though I don't think it would have changed my decision the rollback the LTZ.

I guess the options were a truck that I liked with a powertrain that I thought was possibly one of the worst modern systems I've ever driven. (5.3 / 8 speed)

Or a powertrain I like in a truck (3.0) but none of the options I want (no sunroof, no park sensors, no cameras, cloth seats) 2020 Elevation

You maybe the person to ask, as you sound like you have experience with all things cams. I, like you have an RST with the trailer camera provisions and a bed cam. I also have front parking sensors and when it goes into the red it triggers my back up camera. It’s almost like if I had the front camera it would trigger it. Any way to add a front camera to my current set up that you know of? Thanks and awesome job on the swap.

Adding just a single front camera would be a nice alternative to buying a bunch of cameras. Curious about the answer!

There are 5 ports on your video processing module.  one to send image to radio, one for rear cam, one for bed view, and 2 for trailer.  trailer buttons can only be pressed if a trailer is plugged in.  so you could use those ports but you would need to trick truck into thinking a trailer is there. You could use bed view port to put a front cam on if you didnt care about having bedview cam.  then you could push bed button to see front view.  you need to buy 10 port module to do what i did. thanks!

Thanks for the insight. I’ll probably never use the inside trailer view. Kinda strange it has the front parking sensors switch the rear cam on and not have a provision somewhere to add the front camera. Be nice of some one is able to come up with a lockpic type set up like they have for older vehicles.
