Looking to get my dad a factory backup camera for Fathers Day. He has a 2014 Silverado with the IO4 radio and it's not prewired. Tying again to find the instructions for the dealer to enable and program a factory backup camera. I came across the tech article before on here but the search is failing me. Local dealer isn't the best at doing abnormal things but hopefully they could follow GM's instructions. I know WAMS does the programming. Would prefer to have the option added to GM's database for the truck in case future service work removed the programming/option. Then he wouldn't have to troubleshoot why it's not working only to realize you need to plug the programmer back into the OBD port, assuming it wasn't misplaced.

Take a look here:

 

https://www.camerasource.com/products?make_filter=6008&model_filter=6208&year_filter=6280

 

They have several options including a programmer that will allow the use of a backup camera. It does need to be temporarily plugged into OBD port for initial programming but you can put it in the glovebox after getting radio programmed for the camera.

 

 

I am a satisfied customer of theirs and bought the upgraded rear camera from them for my 2016 and is definitely a much better than OEM and a clearer picture than the factory camera.

Yeah, if I cant find the dealer instructions I'll have to go the programmer route. Trying to find a harness kit that uses the factory weather pack plug at the rear instead of something proprietary. The tailgate is frequently removed and this would need to be unplugged.

Would you be willing to sell it to me? I also have a 2016 Silverado and I tried installing a camera but I need to program it.

If you are asking about programmer, I didn't get one. Mine was already set up for one and I was just replacing the existing camera. Here is the link for the programmer.

I ordered a kit from MVI, they had everything I needed all from one place. Works just like factory for the most part. Still sorting out an issue with the grid lines, currently I just turned them off.

Have you figured out the grid line issue I added a backup camera and mine is doing the same

No.

 

MVI said they have never saw this before. The grid lines and the way they display is all in the HMI, has zero to do with the camera. The only suggestion they could offer is trying a different HMI. Some back and forth shipping would be involved swapping it out. I asked about estimated costs and downtime to dig into this further and didn't hear anything back.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had skimmed through that article when you posted the link and honestly I felt rather defeated in a sense and realized that all these years in changing oil that in fact putting in what I was told was a good quality oil was probably not filtered as well as it should be although the filter put on the engine would be what ( as long as it never went into bypass mode ) would be the final filtering of the new oil that the engine components would first see, but then the filtering media itself is not up to par to what is ideal because a full flow filter would be too restrictive to filter fine enough for the engines best outcome in the long run. Only one of our tractors over the years which was a Versatile with a 855 Cummins had a separate bypass filter, some engine manufacturers did spec a partial bypass system within the main oil filter but I don't believe any other trucks or equipment I was servicing used such a filter. No doubt a product like the Amsoil bypass system is of benefit as long as nothing goes sideways with the extra plumbing and filter such as a rupture/leak that could cause the oil to pump out of the engine ( yes that Versatile had a remote canister with hoses routed to it as well ). With the idiot egr system on a diesel and as a result forcing a lot more soot into the oil, that certainly isn't helping the diesel engines cause or as you pointed out the GDI engine issue with creating more soot and aside from having a fancy secondary filtering system, changing the oil more often helping lower the total soot load.     So oil manufacturing and the end product is not something one can control and I wonder if there are specs on what various oil packaging companies produce in particle count or size. As to the filtering, if the OEM is not designing a filter size and spec that is really what it could be, they too are short changing the end user and so what is the answer. Of course as you say the oil side can only do so much if the air side isn't keeping up its end of the picture and air filters are only so efficient and if in a dusty environment such as farm or construction or driving gravel roads there is a lot of dirt to filter out and some of that ends up into the air stream.    Of course the irony in places like where I am where they dump the salt on the highways but also will mix in some calcium or outright pure calcium for problem road area's, or using calcium as dust control on gravel roads, the vehicle that gets used in that environment may rust out before a properly engineered engine and maintenance finally wears out so one has to face that reality in the rust belt.

      Has anyone run these on their 2500?

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...

      That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.
