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!

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."
