I have a 2021 Yukon xl and was wondering if anyone has tried swapping out the switches to a 2022 for the hard button for the camera. I know it’s a long shot, but any chance it’s doable?

asked a dealer and they had no idea.

Man, this forum doesn't get as much help as the truck side of things.

Anyways, update on my question.  IT IS PLUG AND PLAY for my 2021 Yukon XL Denali (build date May 2021).

 
Several people were saying it was not possible and just to trade up to a 2022 model, but I didn't want to lose any features I currently have. This was by far the best $70 I have spent on this vehicle.
 
There are 25 part numbers for the switch with camera, so you will need to figure out which is correct for your vehicle based on RPO's. Parts guy at the second dealership I went to (first was not interested in helping me) was willing to print out the list for me to figure out which it was as he could not find it based on a VIN I gave (I have attached the part numbers pages so hopefully others can find their's easier). 
Mine was an ultimate:
UHX: Lane departure
JHD: Hill Descent
UD5: parking sensor
KL9: Auto start/stop
UV2: 360 camera.
Z88: GMC
 
Other RPO's listed:
NSS: no start / stop
X88: Chevy
 
You can find your RPO code on the driver's side door jamb and scan it with your phone camera to read it.
 
Once you get the part, it literally took less than 10 minutes. 
  1. Popped off the 2 panels: Do the bottom left of the kick panel first, then do the side piece. 
  2. remove 7 mm screw that holds the trim piece with the switch.
  3. pull straight out on the trim piece with the switch (4 retainer clips, see picture).
  4. remove clip but first using small flat head to slide red locking piece out (to the right in the picture) and then flip green piece down and it will release the harness.
  5. Remove switch from trim piece with small flathead to release clip at each corner.
  6. Install new switch and then put everything back!

Very informative posts. I have a 2021 high country suburban with the same switch setup as you. Ordered part # 84786497, I will report back with another data point after install. I also plan on installing an auto stop eliminator at the same time. 
 

FYI, for anyone with a non Denali Yukon or Tahoe/Suburban the switch panel disassembly/assembly is covered in a video on the auto stop eliminator web site.

Installed my switch panel today, everything works as advertised. It’s nice not having to navigate the touch screen to get the 360 cameras up. Thanks peterlawl84 for sharing the information to make the swap possible.

Thank you for all your help on this! We have an 2wd Duramax Yukon SLT that does not have Hill Descent Control. I ended up ordering the part number 84786496, and I also paired it with the auto stop eliminator and everything works great.

My 2021 Suburban controls do not have the hill descent button.

It looks like b0hr found the right part to substitute to get the camera function.

 

But, if I add the button assembly that peterlawl84 used, will I also get a working descent button?

Is that plug and play also?

b0hr, what is the auto stop eliminator and where do you get it?

I can guess what it does but what does it look like and how is it installed?

You will not gain descent control. thats a separate module.  This has been confirmed by others that tried to use the same button I did on their vehicle without it.

Another successful installation. 

As noted by b0hr above I used part number 84786496 for my 2021 4WD Suburban LT.

I also installed the TRL Autostop Eliminator at the same time.

Everything works great!

OMG this has been driving me crazy ('21 Yukon Denali). Stumbled upon this thread and just ordered the upgraded part (84786497). Can't wait to have a hard cam button - thank you, all!

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thanks @newdude, guess I'll keep looking.  Test driving so many trucks that have obvious things broken, I'm thinking "if they couldn't even be bothered to fix the power seat," what else is broken".   Just drove a 2021 where the power seat motor was grinding/binding and wouldn't do anything but make a terrible sound.   An owner that puts dents on the bumper, doesn't fix a seat motor, and had spotty service intervals (along with missing major services) doesn't give me the best of confidence.   Amazed at the number of people that will finance a $60k+ truck, run it into the ground, then trade with a loan balance (every single one had "loan/lien reported" on the CARFAX at the last year of registration).

      Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.
