I have a 2020 GMC Sierra SLT. One of the factory options is adding the bed view camera for $250. Since mine did not come with this, I wondered if it would be possible to add it? Being that it’s only a $250 factory option, I figured it can’t that difficult to do. Has anyone done this or have any knowledge of this?

Iceman, if you happen to find an answer to adding the bed view camera, please let us know, I too am wanting to attempt to get this installed.

I want an answer to this as well.  I would like to add it to my AT4 to aid in 5th wheel hookup.  Not interested in the mirror.  Just the bed view camera.

That’s not true, at all. I was looking at two identical trucks. One had the extra bed view camera, one didn’t. The difference in price was $250

I priced up a Sierra SLT on the GMC build and price site and to add the bed camera I had to first have the Driver alert package, convenience package, premium packages to add that $250 camera.

Yes, but all of that is included in the Premium Plus package, which I have.

I would have thought it would be a simple plug and play. I haven’t removed the lamp assembly and looked, but I figured that there’s already a wiring harness there. I couldn’t see it being anything difficult since it’s only a $250 factory option. Cheap options usually mean fast and easy. If it was $1,000 option, I’d believe there was much more to it than just a simple harness plug in. 
I guess I will call GMC and see what info I can find out. 

Did you ever call or find out anything from the dealer?

Camera review mirror and the bedview camera are separate cameras. 

 

So if you want both you need the assembly with TWO cameras

Hate to highjack, but I'm watching closely as well, but I'm looking to add the front camera to a 2023.  I'm thinking whatever gets resolved here just might work for a front camera too?

Oh, I thought the camera was located in the third brake light. 

The “Live view” camera is located on the spoiler third brake light area.

thanks but I sold it about a year ago. Only 23,000 miles and had lifter and transmission issues. GM admitted the lifters were bad but said they wouldn’t replace engine until the engine failed. I guess they thought that was quality customer service and thought I would enjoy to continue to stare at a check engine light. This was my first and last GM vehicle.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
