2020 Build with Bed View Camera

[GearHead71]

I'm looking at building a 2020 GMC 2500 SLE and only one of the options has me hung up.  When I add the "Preferred Package" it adds the "HD Rear Vision Camera" which I want, but then when I go to add the "Bed View Camera" later on it removes the "HD Rear Vision Camera".

 

I talked to a dealer nearby but they couldn't figure it out.  Is there a way to get both on an SLE?

Thanks!

Doesn't the HD camera add that feature with it??

Not sure how the GMC packages are compared to Chevy

That's what I can't figure out... does the HD Camera include the Bed view Camera?  Or vice versa?  All I know is, by selecting the "Preferred Package" it automatically adds the "HD Rear View Camera" but the "Bed view camera" is NOT selected.  And when you select the bed view camera it REMOVES the HD rear view.  Confusing

I had this issue with my order. I opted to add the Bed View Camera with the delete of HD vision. My priority was the bed view camera, the review mirror was a bonus.

Not sure if that was the smart move but it is what it is now. My truck hasn't been delivered yet to know what I get.

I'm not 100% certain on this but I think the infotainment system on trim levels below SLT are limited in their input availability and can only accommodate one or the other.  One of the standard features found on the SLT when upgrading is "Premium Infotainment System" whereas the SLE omits the premium part when describing the Infotainment System it includes.  It would be weird to include that word with one trim level but not the other if they were the same but again I don't know for sure.

 

Another way to get people to upgrade to the higher trim level is to limit options that can be added to lesser levels I suppose.

By chance I came across this truck which has both the bed view camera and the rear camera mirror. At least on a Chevy, looks like you have to re-add the rear view mirror (and its full cost, even though its included in the Convenience Package II) when building the vehicle and selecting the bed view camera... However if I were to build a Chevy or GMC, it doesn't allow both options. I wonder if this is a glitch on the web site and maybe it orders up okay at the dealer?

delete the hd rear view camera and get bed camera.......i had same issue and had std rear camera on 2019 RST and now have the HD rear on my 2020 2500.....i would get bed view over HD rear, its really not huge difference in quality but getting a different camera with that angle is or would be.....

 

their pkgs make no sense and am sure all the brands do this....have to get something totally unrelated to what you really want....

 

it is what it is

its not the mirror.....its an HD rear camera on infotainment

 

that messed me up as well as i thought it was same thing you did......its just bit better quality on backup camera

 

i have it now and had std on last truck....no that big a deal.....in fact the conv pkg 2 really isnt a big deal overall.....i could have lived with conv 1 like i had previous......definetly not worth $1300 imo....the premium IOS or IOT vs IOR isnt really much.....unless you want nav dtl

Thanks, just out of curiosity, does anyone know how to add the rear camera mirror on a GMC 2500 SLE?  I don't see it as an option or included in any package.

If you remove the had camera for the rear view mirror camera you will not have hitch guidance camera

Did you ever figure this out. I’m trying to order a 2500 LT with the z71 sport package and the preferred package II and I’m running into the same problem. When I add the rear bed view camera (250$ option) it says it will remove the HD Rear vision camera. I’m wondering if this is a limitation on the LT’s where you can have one or the other but not both.

All of the camera stuff included on different packages with this truck are all very good resolution, not sure if any are HD or not, but looks like it.
