Yeah I don't have a VPM, I do have the IOS radio, the WAMS radio is expensive! but I have a feeling it wouldn't be needed.

if you have a bedview camera you can upgrade your video processing module to the 360 one and have birdseye view.  relatively easy and oem level function.

For anyone with a bedview camera built into high mount brake light but no front cam

I'm pretty certain trucks that have only hitch and view rear view do not have a VPM and this plugs directly into radio.   I think it may be possible to upgrade these trucks with a new/used radio

my camera and module are scheduled for delivery today.  Will update installation issues or hopefully just update when complete saying how easy the install was.   I installed upgraded puddle lights with the chevy symbol that shines on the ground when door unlock is pressed in my wifes 2021 tahoe last night which was very easy thankfully because now I can focus today on my truck camera install. lol

That coax is a gps antenna or wifi antenna or onstar.  You need to have a video control module to have a front cam.  I think it could be possible to add a VCM by tapping into GMLAN 5060, power, ground and run camera lines.  Maybe a WAMS radio too.  Probably would need ios/iot radio not ior.   Would be interesting to find out if it can be done.  I added oem front cam to my truck but I had a VCM from having the trailer cam package (bedview, rearview and 2 trailer cam plugs) so all I needed was to run the coax lines to cams.

I Found that other coax cable capped off under the bed yesterday while plugging in my new tailgate harness. I have a feeling its a video input for some reason. I'm gonna try switching the coax connectors to see what that other input is for or if it will even show up on the infotainment center.

Update: I took off the Fakra connectors because they are different and just inserted the coax directly into the radio module and I got nothing. The pair of coax connections on the radio both lead to the very end of the truck, one is going to the reverse camera and the other is capped off under the bed right where the tailgate harness connects, (at least on my 2020 LT Texas edition with no trailering package) if anybody else would like to peak under their truck bed on the drivers side to see where that coax could possibly lead. Maybe it is used on a trailering package?

 

Please let me know what yall find out!

Update. I finished the install of my front camera and it would have been fairly quick and simple and even with the trouble I had it still wasnt that bad.  

 

I installed the camera on the front grill below the bow tie and ran the cable in the engine bay along the driver side wheel well and down under the truck and brought it up the the rubber grommet in the driver side door sill and routed behind the carpet up under the dash to the passenger side.   Then I installed the video module under the passenger side dash and connected the required connections to the radio module and cable that comes in from the camera which is all fairly simple I thought.  So the first module I received had an issue with it and after trying several things with tech support we decided something was wrong with the module he sent so he sent me another one and I hooked it up and now the camera in the front is working and I also put a roku stick into the hdmi port on the module supplied and was able to pull it up on the radio screen where I could watch netflix or something if wanted.  I intend to get a cable that I can use to plug my iphone in and mirror it to the radio screen so I can watch stuff from my phone if wanted since it wasnt much more to get the module capable of doing so.  

 

here is a link to the camera and module I installed.  https://www.gm-navigation.com/shop/2019-and-up-chevy-silverado-and-gmc-sierra-camera-module/

Andrewb24, I'm thinking about adding the front camera from MVI to my 2020 Sierra and wanted to know if you're satisfied with the quality and performance of your system? Anything you do or don't like about the system? Any advice?

Rally6.2RST, do you have any clue if anyone has successfully gotten this (or complete 360) to work on a truck that did not come factory with any VCM?

Looking to add a front camera has two rear cameras already. To a 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 Duramax 3.0 four-wheel-drive four-door short box pick up. What’s the easiest and best way to go to get a front view camera?

Sorry I didnt not comment on this, I am just now seeing this.  Did you ever get a camera installed?

I dont know if its the easiest but I got a module from MVI at Gm-navigation.com which ties into your trucks radio module under the passenger side dash and the camera connects to that.  MVI sells cameras but I think I got my camera from ebay.   The camera and module were fairly easy to install.   I also added an option to the moudle where i can mirror my phone to the radio screen which is nice for watching the Braves when I am on the road.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
