There is another thread on this forum that mentions the 2024 isn't compatible with the 2020-2023 camera assembly.

 

I traded in my 2020 for a 2024 and my trailer camera no longer worked.

 

My 2024 did come with the whole camera assembly.  I opened the old housing and swapped the camera that came with my truck.  It does work now (including "invisible trailer")_.

 

  Someone on the other thread mentioned there was a way to buy the camera separately.  Since I also had the interior camera set up in my car hauler trailer I purchased it.  It was part number 85573256 for just the camera.  $88.85 including shipping.

 

  I haven't had time to test it with the 2024 yet but I hope to in the next few days.

 

  I will look to see if the part number for the whole trailer camera with housing is still here someplace.

 

Good Luck

I traded my 2020 3500 for a 2024 3500 last month. I moved the camera ports to the bed for towing our trailer but couldn't get the rear camera to work - screen was black with an hourglass. Thought to check out the forums today after ordering a second set of FAKRA-to-FAKRA cables thinking that the cheap $6 cables on Amazon weren't as good as the ones from Pasternak.

 

I guess I'm a little frustrated to hear that the prior trailer cameras don't work. If I could get away with just a camera instead of the whole thing, that would be awesome. TBH running 60 feet of cable under and through the trailer with winter coming on doesn't sound like a project I am wanting to tackle at the moment. 

If you have those part numbers, that would be super helpful. Thanks!

ShogunKC, Where did you buy this camera?

The problem I'm having with the camera (part # 85118298) is that it will only display the mirror image (right becomes left, left becomes right and all lettering is reversed). This should be a simple software fix through the Infotainment System, but Chevy does not provide this directly. Anyone else having this problem and perhaps have a workaround?
