So, I have a '22 CC LT and the only thing it doesn't have that I really wish it did is a bed view camera. I've searched several forums to see if it could be added, and up to this point, all efforts seem futile. Between modules and reprogramming to get the camera to show on the head unit, every lead ended up dead. We just got a new truck on the lot that has the bed view camera display in a small screen in the rear view mirror. And it is activated by a button on the camera; seemingly independent of any other module. I pulled the part numbers using that specific VIN:

 

85510310 Mirror

84601056 CHMSL with Camera

84859040 Camera Wiring

 

Does anybody have more knowledge that I do that my be able to discern if I bought these parts and put them on my truck, they would basically be plug and play. I can get pictures of the truck that has it and provide the VIN if that would help...Thoughts???

I have a 2020 and I remember a year or more ago I did come across a post somewhere that was talking about basically this exact setup, only it was mainly for the rear-view display and didn't really mention the bed view button.  The discussion then was that this is a separate system and all that was needed to make it work was the mirror, cable, and light with the camera.  There was NO programming involved.  Because the trucks were fairly new at the time, getting those parts were nearly impossible so the idea went away, but I'm in the same spot as you and really like the idea of a bed view like you are showing.

I had a 2021 2500 HD Denali that had a bed view camera, but it was accessed through the camera app and showed up on the in-dash display. I like the idea of a button on the mirror with the pic in pic display. It looks like it's much simpler to activate.

Just curious,  when the camera is not activated,  is the mirror a standard mirror?  I installed closed to the same setup but it was a rear view camera.  The camera points over the top of the bed and not down in your bed.  It was 100% plug in play.  You just had to buy the mirror, camera/center tail light and a cable.  The mirror plugged into a power connector in your head liner.

 

Most trucks already have the power connector.   

the part list for rearview is below:

What you are doing does make sense is should be plug in play just as the above is all controlled by the mirror it self.

What chevy needs is a mirror that can switch between two camera, one for the bed and the second for rearview.

 

This will be an interesting thread to follow.

@KTDanforth Yes, It's just a standard mirror without the screen on... I haven't went searching for the plugs yet, but gen5diy has a rear view camera setup for sale on their site. And the truck they installed it in didn't have the plugs from the factory. I did send them an email suggesting a kit for the bed view camera. We'll see if I get a response before I look for the plugs in my truck...

This is an interesting setup. All the bedview I've seen has been through the specific bedview camera and into the head unit, but this requires a video processing unit. I'm wondering if with chip shortages, they've switched to this setup.

 

It looks really similar to the way the Rear View Camera Mirror works. As far as I know, that setup is a new taillight assembly with the rear view camera (different then bed view), and that camera needs a Fakra extension cable which then plugs to the mirror itself, and the mirror gets power from a harness in the headliner. There are some good posts in the non-HD T1 forums on this. It appears it would be wired this way. 

 

I believe there are three taillight assemblies. One is Rear view, one is bed view, and one has dual cameras. 

 

This is an example of that setup and they have some videos showing the install procedure.... 2019-2022 Silverado or Sierra Factory OEM Backup Rear Camera LCD Mirro - Infotainment.com

I'm interested in this too. I like the mirror controlling it with a switch. When looking into a VIN with an OEM rear camera they have a video controller where mine does not. I have a 21 SLE. I have a new High Mount 3rd brake light with camera. P/N 84699124

I was looking for the thread, I believe it is in the chevy 1500 mod section, but I attached the infortaintment video that has the walk thru.  The whole thing is plug in play, no programming.

 

(2) 2019-2021 Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra Rear Camera LCD OEM Mirror - Easy Plug & Play Install! - Bing video 

 

Buy the parts yourself and save the money.   All are pretty cheap, except the mirror, I was able to find a take off mirror for about $300.  the rest of the parts were less than $150, so all in was $450.

 

good luck

I installed mine this weekend. I ended up taking the camera from the 84487008 and put it in a bed view third brake light lens (84699124) and installed. Turned out nice. Just need to get the trim for the wiring around the mirror.

Did you get everything buttoned up? Do you have any pics of the final result or install?

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔

      cam upgrade in CA

      By AidenVorpagel · Posted

      hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      Update. I started chasing down my symptoms. Started first with pulling valve covers and looked at everything. Everything looked good and couldn't hear or feel anything different. Then a compression test. 240 psi or really close on each cylinder. I was worried I was a tooth off of timing. Not bad for an engine with 173,000. Granted I did put new heads on. I sprayed water around the injector area to see if I could hear a change. Nothing. I hooked up my new hp tuner which I should have done in the first place but I don't really know what I'm looking at just yet but am learning. I noticed the fuel trims were way off so that told me I have to have either a bad injector or exhaust leak. New injectors, so I did the shop vac on blower and in the tail pipe. Sprayed soapy water and found the exhaust flange on the drivers side was leaking. I didn't think it would be that considereding I pulled the heads and left the manifolds attached. I did have the transmission replaced not long ago. They must have not seated them properly but I guess I didn't notice. I put in new gaskets on both sides. Which by the way isn't a bad job but I had a hard time getting them to seal right. Took two attempts. Reset the fuel trims and the ticking is gone, engine runs smooth and acceleration has improved. Got to feel the real difference with that stage 1 cam. It's not that big of a difference but it does add a little more. It feels like how the truck should have been from the factory.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.
