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.

      Joke Thread

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By revmanii · Posted

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
