Been waiting about a month to get to the dealer to address what I thought would be simple software issue. Was told that my surround vision camera view is normal. (See pictures).

 

Quick backstory: I’ve owned my 2020 Silverado LTZ since Aug 2020 and I’m 99.99% certain that before the last automatic software update, my camera view was perfect. I first noticed the issue late March when I backed up into my normal parking space at work and I took out the curb with my right rear wheel! 
 

The rear view showed the curb spaced from the truck about 8 inches more than I actually had in relation to what the side view camera shows. The front camera has the same problem but not as much. 
 

For you guys with the surround vision on your trucks, how does it look? Does everything “line up” as it should? The dealer tech said there is nothing he can fix because the system shows no errors. Great.

My 19 looks like that too. Has since new.

Interesting. 
 

I’m certain mine was correct then something changed. I would have noticed this issue a long time ago if it’s how it came from the factory.

 

Strange thing is my wife’s 2018 traverse premier has surround vision and it is perfect all the way around with no distortion of any kind. If GM can get it right on this car, why not my truck? 
 

Seems like lazy software calibration done by a third-rate hack computer engineer at GM.

Z06…when new, my camera had sharp lines. After about a year of driving I noticed my lines are like yours. I was wondering if other people had this issue and the dealer would help correct the surround view. It’s definitely not as reliable anymore. 
 

just finding this thread now, sorry for joining late

2020 AT4.  My cameras now look like yours.  I'm pretty sure they use to be a lot closer in alignment.  Maybe a future software update could fix it?

Not sure if others in this forum had the 2" lift or bigger tires put on (I have the 2" lift), but they recalibrated them for my truck.  With that said a radio update came through and now it is misaligned.  Wonder if these updates are messing with us.

 

Otherwise the lifts without recals could be your problem.  The LTZ does not offer it off the bat so the updates may go back to original configuration.

Mine was off completely, no idea when it started. I had to bring the vehicle in to the dealer and had a VPCM or something like that replaced. 

 

Following is before and after. Not perfect, but a lot better.

Here is my "before" picture. I only have a painted line on the left, you have to use the seam in the asphalt on the right to see the misalignment (2022 2500HD). I will see if the Chevy dealer can reduce the error.

Any progress here? I noticed the same thing on my truck recently and asked my service department to look at it during my last oil change. They claimed they could find nothing wrong.

Keep in mind the overhead or airplane view is not an actual photo but a computer-generated image so it will not be precise. Lines in the side cameras actual vision range will be correct but beyond that it's a simulation.

That's not what we're talking about.  We're talking about the overlap areas between the adjacent cameras.  They appear to have become skewed after the recent update.  Previously the lines within a parking space were all correctly aligned between the various cameras.  Now some of the lines are offset and do not track from camera to camera.  Something has changed in the camera alignment algorithm.

    • Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).
    • The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.                 
    • It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.  
    • They’re not the same wiz as 10-15 years ago.  QC has fallen pretty hard.  The XP line was never good though in the first place.    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/wix-filter-rusted-through.386492/post-6991372   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/i-ve-used-my-last-wix-filter.27299/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-better-replacement-for-wix-51258.403977/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/convince-me-in-using-the-purolator-boss.401537/post-7420147   the forums are littered with posts and examples of not great wix filters the last couple years
