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:

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By xdieselmechanic · Posted

      I apologize for long post put going to try to explain everything. Parts replaced so far: Cam sensor Crank sensor Cam phaser valve Cam phaser solenoid Fuel pump Maf 1 injector Pcm Pdm   So about 2 weeks ago coming off the highway my 2007 yukon xl with the 6.2 stalled and would restart. Had unit towed back to house and I messed around with relays and unit started. Drove it the next day and same thing. Had it towed again. Scanned unit and had code p0300 with misfire data showing mainly cylinder 7 but I know that won't cause a no start. Measure fuel pressure and found only 42 psi replaced pump to have unit stall again and not restart. This time I stayed on back roads and just waited for it to restart about 30 to 60 min. During this time I found I have no injector pulse but have good power at injectors. Started unplugging 1 injector at a time and found when unplugging cylinder 7 pulse came back so i changed injecto and same issue. Turns out unit just happen to ready to start at that time. Scanned into unit and found no reason for the pcm to take away injector pulse so I replaced the pcm and same issue. I figured timing sesnor controlled the injector pulse so I replaced both sensors and while I had the water pump of i replaced the vvt components while i was in there. Read multiple people have luck chaging the maf for this issue so I changed it. Unit still stalls to this day and loses injector pulse on the ground side when it does. Have noticed watching the live data the pcm is request injectors to fire via injector pwm value. I have redone the ground wires at the left bottom of the block knowing this was the ground location for the pcm but still no luck. I am a mechanic by trade but this is having me pull my hair out. If anyone has something to have me check I will gladly im not much of a parts thrower but im about to load the cannon

      auto mechanical driver's door unlock without pressing button? [2026 Silv. 1500 WT 4WD RC SB 2.7L]

      By newdude · Posted

      Actually.  Wait.   I just re-read your original post.  Are you talking from INSIDE the truck you have to hit unlock?  Or from the key fob?  I had assumed from the key fob.   IF you are talking the inside unlock button, I assume you are shifting to park and its not unlocking the doors?  If so, that is changed via the settings page in the radio.  Go to SETTINGS, then VEHICLE and then it should be under LOCKS or DOOR LOCKS or something like that.

      Just pull the inside door handle.  It has mechanical override to the lock.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Got to have those sliding doors. One of my favorite things about a minivan. The Kia does a good job of making a minivan look like an SUV. I may do a Toyota next. I want the awd option.

      Mixed info from dealer and manual RE: 10 Speed 45K service

      By HajjitheDoberman · Posted

      I took my 24 Sierra Denali 4wd in at 37,000 miles. Had the mileage maintenance checks done, asked them to change out the two limited slip differentials, including the limited slip additive, and change out the transfer case fluid. They rotated my tires, verified my shocks weren’t leaking, and whatever minor checkouts that were on the list for 37,000 miles. About three hours later, they charged me $600 and sent me off. I was considering having the 10-speed transmission serviced, but between the posts on this forum and previous experiences with transmission failures after a fluid and filter change, I decided against the tranny fluid changeout when the service advisor told me it would take about 3 hours and cost about $500. After growing up working in three different full-service gas stations, I know to stay far away from flushing machines connected to any automatic transmission. I don’t meet the severe duty schedule, but I may follow the 45,000 mile tranny service, unless  i see more problems from doing so on the forums. I expect I will want to watch the entire procedure. The various utube videos do a decent job of showing how much time and attention should be taken for a correct fluid &filter replacement, so witnessing the procedure seems something I should do. Trust but Verify🥳 Otherwise, I’ll follow the owner’s manual recommendations, whatever they are.
