Great.  There is a software bug we discovered with another TAC case.

So, what do you know about using software tools to calibrate the SIDE cameras on the truck (2022 Silverado 2500HD) so that the front, side and rear cameras all show lines that run along the side of the truck (like in a parking lot or the curb at the side of the street) that actually line up with each other?  There should not be a big gap when a line switches from a front camera to a side camera.

 

My Invisible Trailer works great.

Another example of cameras misaligned.

 

I think the front and rear are pretty accurate. It is the side cameras that are way off.

 

Can't these be corrected in software calibration?

Hello,

 

I have a 2024 HD 2500. I want to confirm the height corrected the transparency camra issue. I recently installed my camera but it would not calibrate. The preview button remained gray and the transparancy selection remained gray the entire time. Showed it was calibrating, but after multiple time driving 25 mph stright fornmiles no luck and no progress bar was found. I have the stacking, and it shows the turning and rear views, but no transparency view.

Yep. Corrected transparent trailer. Same as yours with the grayed out button. Changed the hight. It then took about 5 min to calibrate.

I have a 2024 sierra trying to get invisible tralier to work as soon as start to drive get red x and says to check owners manual  all other cameras views work

Tried the above possible solutions. Cannot get highlighted transparent trailer key activated. Calling GM/Chevy to see if there are anymore workarounds. We have a 2024 1500 Sliverado LTZ with a 20 foot box travel trailer.

You sir are a genius. I’ve driven so much trying to calibrate my camera that GM should owe me half a tank of gas. Based on my searches there are a lot of us that run into this issue. I’ve read about all the tricks with excitement only to find out they didn’t work. Today I lowered my height to 118 inches and within 5 minutes I was calibrated and good to go. Thank you.

What height did you have in before? Was it just the changing of the number or that particular number that did it?

[Michael J69]

My trailer was 139 inches tall. Once I switched it to 118 inches it calibrated within 2 mins.

I fought with this issue for almost a year trying everything. Moving the camera up and down re-leveling the trailer adjusting all the dimensions, even deleted the trailer, and input all the info over again. I just changed the height to 118" and BINGO in less than a 1/4 mile it calibrated. My height is 131".

There is a fault in the trailering sware. The trailer height must be less than 199 inches.

I went to order the camera and during the discussion, the part number was updated to this new number: 86584184.

 

My original part number was supposed to be: 85118298. 

 

The parts guy said this new number is the correct one for my VIN. Mine is a 2023 model.

 

The camera works but I haven't setup the transparent trailer yet since the trailer is parked for the season. so I am no help with that question.

For those that had accessory camera issues, do you also have the updated brake controller (located above the spare tire)?

either by coincidence or some other issue, my accessory camera went on the fritz after the brake controller was replaced.  It sometimes worked in the driveway but hitting the brakes a few times while in park makes it go black...
