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

THANK YOU!!! 2024 GMC 1500.  Camera System #86584185 Couldn't get the system to calibrate for the transparent trailer.  Would only say "Calibrating..." and then never calibrate.  Zero inform

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.

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?

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".

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...

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
