I just bought a 2020 GMC 2500 SLT(really good price) but it didn't come with all the fancy cameras. I would love to add the trailer camera but the truck doesn't have the 2 plugs above the 7 pin plug. I assume this isnt going to work but I wonder if I can buy the oem parts and just add it. But I bet the BCM controls it. Wish I could add all the cameras

It is going to be a radio issue. If you have anything but and IOR radio you are in luck. I am experiencing the same thing trying to get side view cameras. Basically you have a sliding rear window or you don't. From my digging so far all I find is a different wire harness with an additional 2 pins for the upgraded infotainment systems.

 

I am exploring my options for different camera views using a full display rear view mirror. Unfortunately the center stack is not looking promising. I am still waiting to hear back from the dealer. The dealer isn't telling me it can't be done. It just requires lots of the dash to be pulled out. It looks like GM may not be willing to sell the harnesses or the radio equipment. Anyone can get the radio equipment from Infotainment. The problem is the lack of wiring harness to connect it all.

 

I am sick of folks tell me to go buy a new truck if I want cameras..... Maybe one day when they want a new outlet in their home they will be told to go buy a new home that already has the outlet they are looking for. BTW to all those folks out there try and go buy a new truck that doesn't exist.

Thank you,

 

I guess I missed something... I have a sliding rear window and the touch screen infotainment.  I'm not even sure how to check/find build sheets to determine if that means I have the IOR.

Just use your camera on your phone and scan the QR code inside your door. It will list all the build codes for your truck

Bumping this as I have found some information that might be able to help those looking for this info. Once I get my truck in, I will try it out and report back:
 

Based on a few threads between 1550 and 2500 forums, the following 3 OEM parts would be needed to retrofit the vehicle to accept the OEM AUX camera(s) so long as you have the IOS Premium Infotainment System (if you have 'trailering apps', then you have it):

  1. Swap out high-mount third brake light to part# 84699124 (w/ bed camera w/o Mirror camera -- ~$100)
  2. Swap Trailer harness receptacle with part# 13530416 or 13526856 (~$75 - $95)
  3. Add OEM Video Control Module 'VPM' 

Open question: Does the IOS infotainment require an update or will it recognize the VPM & additional camera(s) once plugged in? Are pigtails for the VPM already prewired into the body harness? 


My build for reference: 2022 2500HD SLE w/ Premium GMC Infotainment System and Trailering Apps. Unfortunately the dealer did not advise me to add the $250 bed camera option to ensure invisible trailer works. 

 

Photo from another thread in the 1500 forums showing the pigtails hanging behind the rear bumper for the AUX camera input:

      Gas Prices

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By wxman13 · Posted

      Just wanted to get a idea of how many of you still have problems with your radio cutting out during the first few minutes of driving, my 2024 GMC Sierra still does this after a little over 2 years of complaining to my dealer about it, and OTA updates no longer complete, the check for updates in settings is greyed out for the second time while trying to install a update, my dealer took about a week to play around with it the first time this happened, and somehow got the check for updates to work, even though it would always show system is up to date when I knew it wasn't, now again 1 month later its greyed out again when the OTA update N25-F163BU tried to install, which ironically is the update to help with reliability of future updates.
