Is it possible to add a digital recorder to record some or all of the cameras?  Seems like it should be a fairly straightforward thing to do.

Has anyone here tried?  I do commercial surveillance systems and can’t believe there’s no way to do this.  Police cars have it.

This is the only Option I am aware of that is plug-in play.

That looks pretty nice.   I wonder if the obd port connection work with a new Sierra Denali? Trout I saw something somewhere advising against it.  Otherwise I’ll need a good aftermarket and try to find the location of an acc switched fuse to tie into.

Here’s a link to the latest version the u1000 which is really sweet. I was already leaning towards the blackvu 900s but this sounds better. Need to compare prices and options.  I’ll need to remove the a pillar assist handle and run wires for a good radar detector (I have my older escort s2 that has alway seemed to work well) so might as well do this all at the same time.

when you get it all install,  make sure to post some pictures and review.

Yes, @Mad Max  I'd be interested in reading what you decide, and how it works out for you as well.  :thumbs:

So I decided on the Thinkware U1000.  Being as I own a security company and specialize in surveillance, although the Blackview 900x is more aesthetically pleasing and the software is easier to use, to me it’s all about the video quality so the 4k up front and 2k for the rear camera beats the Blackview. The license plate recognition is quite superior with the Thinkware U1000.   Waiting on delivery now.  Then will need to figure out how to get the wire from the front camera to the rear camera by removing the molding some how I guess. Any suggestions on how to do that without breaking something are welcome. I’ve run wires from the rear view mirror to the fuse box before but not around the top sides and rear above the windows.

Gayle put a couple of good videos in this thread:

The second video Gayle linked deals with what you are looking to do.  The guy pulls down the rear of the headliner to figure out where the beacon light goes.  He starts with the B pillar trim, and works around to the back to get great access.

 

Really looking forward to what you think,.  :thumbs: 

Seriously considering going with the same unit.  I'm pulling a big 5th wheel around the country, and this would be beneficial in case of an accident.

Thank you for the links to those videos. I’m really hoping I don’t need to go that route since I don’t need access to the rear spoiler/brake light. I’m an electrician and snake wires everyday. But I still may have to remove some trim like the rear seat upper seatbelt trim. It’s below freezing here now and not only is it difficult for me at 65 but things crack easily in this cold like those A clips. Wish it was 75 degrees out and I was 18 again! LOL Cameras may arrive tomorrow and I don’t trust anyone to remove headliner without breaking something and not fixing it.  I always prefer to do things myself. The rear camera may have to wait till it warms up.

I used this guide to install my BlackVue. Should be helpful for you too.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
