I searched for this topic before posting so hopefully I'm not reposting.  Had my truck since end of August 2023.  Rearview camera mirror has worked perfectly until this issue started about a month ago.  Still works great during the day but horrible at night.  The less light the worse it gets.  Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

Haven't seen / heard of that one before.

Hopefully your not over miles on the warranty. 

 

Does it work ok with camera mode off? 

Should function like an auto-dimming mirror when camera mode is off.

Yes, it works fine when not in camera mode.  I'm still under warranty.  I'm going to bring it in.

Let me know what answers you get… I’m going through something similar. But it has to do with glare/starburst like images at night, see photo.. I’m still under warranty and dealership is giving me a hard time.. I did a Reddit post all about this. Again, lmk

We have 2 vehicles with camera rear view mirror.

They both work, but we run them with the camera off.

Try cleaning the lens with window cleaner. Don't just wipe it off with a dry rag.

Lens isn't dirty. Dealer installed brand new camera that's by the third brake light housing after showing them the photos thinking it would solve the issue (and i hoped so too). But It didn't and now they're refusing to do anything further, saying since they installed a new camera this is how it should normally look.

 

I'm like, seriously guys?!? Like I bought the truck new, I KNOW what's its suppose to look like. Service it saying it normal. effin crazy. now i'm left trying to find used 2022s in my area and do a test drive at night and shoot photos for them.. absolute nonsense..

Man that’s disappointing.  It’s 4 components for that camera mirror.  The camera, a harness that goes from the camera to the inside of the cab.  Then another harness that runs alone the headliner.  And finally the mirror/screen.  If you get somewhere with the dealer, maybe push for a new mirror/screen replacement?

I hope the dealership replaces the unit for you. I generally don't drive with my camera rearview mirror on, I guess I'm scared for if it goes bad. But at the same time, I do find it awesome when on a multilane highway it basically cleans up the the blindspots around the truck. Ever since I tinted all my windows again, and in the rear back half from factory It's removed all the glare from interior lighting to the windows, so I just roll with that versus the camera rear on at night, or most of the time.

Have you played with the mirror camera 'brightness' and 'zoom' settings? 

 

Mine doesn't seem as bad as what's in your picture, but it definitely has some 'hallowing'. (if that's the term)

 

Hallowing severity depends on ambient light and of course the type and aim of the lights of the other vehicles.

In camera mode it the road behind appears more like in daylight (and of course this changes with brightness and zoom settings) 

 

I use it in mirror mode because mirror mode view is crystal clear and without hallowing. 

 

I would likely use it if the mirror view was blocked by things in the vehicle. 

 

 

This is our 3rd vehicle with camera rearview -- only have it because it's part of a package that had to be added to get other things I wanted. 

 

I do like the Auto-dimming feature. Camera mirror is auto dimming when camera is off.

Auto-dimming has spoiled me -- I'd prefer not to go back to a manual dimming.

As I write this I'm wondering if the auto-dimming in camera mode is not working on yours.

Presumably dealer service has a diagnostic procedure to test that function.

Mine works pretty good but in foggy conditions does odd things like shown above.  I still like it better than no camera as the normal mirror does not have great view with rear headrest.

I don't like the mirror camera, I only use it when bed cover is fully up blocking the window with a tall load.

I keep the rear headrests folded down when back seat is unoccupied.

Don’t have enough time to write a long post but long story short: I brought it to another dealership since it’s still under factory warranty (Greater Lowell GMC). They looked at it and it only took them 1 second to see something was wrong, service advisor literally said, “yeah that’s not right,” after seeing the image on my rear view mirror.  I was like “THANK YOU!!!” Finally someone believing me without me having to argue my case. Explained everything that happened at Tulley GMC and they said they’ll take care of it. 4 days later I got the call to pickup. they said they changed the camera in the third brake light and that resolved it. Back to normal. 
 

They explained, it only took them longer than usual bc I originally told them Tulley only changed the camera in the third brake light and refused to do anything else (saying the image on the mirror was normal). So Greater Lowell was left with figuring out what else was wrong, turns out after following a troubleshooting flowchart of camera issues and changing/testing everything else of the system, the only thing they didn’t change was the camera I told them Tulley had already did. Turns out that was the culprit. Camera in third brake light malfunctioned. Once they installed a new one, it was perfect image.

 

the kicker: they did a search of all the work done on my truck and did not see them (Tulley) replacing my camera. They said they found a work order with a camera install, but the part number was not for the camera in the third brake light. 
 

next step is to deal with the service dept at Tulley. 
 

Before and after pics below for reference for one else having the issue:

Hallowing severity depends on ambient light and of course the type and aim of the lights of the other vehicles.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      In most areas of the country, wages have trailed CPI increases over time (let's say, since the 70's) and things like housing, energy, and food have vastly outpaced wages on the whole. Can't ignore that, it's very real.   That isn't to say there aren't ways to live in ways that mitigate some of that, including moving to cheaper areas of the country. In KNut's neck of the world, median housing prices in "nearby" Dallas are more like $500k. If you're raising a family and young in a successful career, your economic opportunities are probably going to be better living closer to Dallas than Cornhole. A 3 hour (6+ round trip) daily commute probably isn't tolerable for most folks. Grumpy mentioned economic migration; but we've seen what happens when people populate and grow an area. It becomes more expensive when economic opportunities come to roost.   One thing different now from back in the 70's is our quality and standard of living has changed. Healthcare is light years better, for example. But it's also much more expensive. And we have communication and information/tech tools that folks in the 70's could never imagine, and they're accessible to people of just about all incomes. Cars are light years safer, faster, and filled with tech advances. Homes are larger, more energy-efficient, and more luxurious on the whole, from starter homes to luxury homes.   Seattle was once affordable. My folks came here in the 70's with a lot of other people from California looking to escape uncontrolled sprawl, smog, and rising prices in the Bay Area. Seattle and the surrounding area has grown considerably; The home they bought for, I think it was $70k or $80k in the late 70's is now worth $1.2M today. The same house.   So while there have been obvious boosts in some areas of quality and standard of living, regarding opportunity, that's a bit more nuanced. It's really not possible for young people to get started in similar situations in areas of the country that have become "HCOL" (high cost of living). There are many more areas than before, which is to say they exclude younger workers or make their lives significantly harder. They have to commute farther and longer to afford to live in the area. They have to take outsized risk, take on more debt, significantly delay family planning. Or, they could move somewhere cheaper, but there's usually a loss of economic opportunity that comes with that. Even for the same job, it may pay a lot less in a LCOL.   What I don't like are Boomers with phones thinking they have all the answers and outright saying that if people stopped paying for their cell phone that they'd be rich. It's as stupid and misguided as people who think they'd only be rich if taxes weren't so high. Sorry guys, Elon proved you wrong on that one, I guess you're just lazy and blaming your own situation for the reason you're not wealthy. Mobile communication is basically an expectation in a modern society and workforce and it's often cheaper than having a copper landline these days, so... What's your point?

      Ac not keeping up

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      My 2008 started exhibiting similar symptoms, wasn't 'cold' enough. I went through a pretty extensive diagnostic process for a DIY'er with limited OBD access. System evacuation and recharge included.   Noticed one day the passenger side was cold (I'm never over there so took awhile to notice).   Pulled the drivers side blend door actuator out, disassembled it and cleaned it out. Put it back in and did some kind of reset and it fixed the problem.   Long story short, it wasn't the A/C system at fault, the blend door wasn't moving to full cold position.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By c4racer2 · Posted

      Just got in two back to back road trips of about 700 miles each with my new 2026 2500HD trail boss.  Really nice highway cruiser. Two very different trips - both loaded with gear for my band. First trip was to Durango for an event with Indian Motorcycle - saw some really nice bikes while out there! All mountain driving on back country highways - very pretty scenery - lots of hills along the way including a crazy pass that went up to 11,000 feet! Overall MPG for that trip was 15, speeds were typically 60-70 range depending on road.   This past weekend was into rural Nebraska, so mostly fast interstate (76 and 80) with some fast 2 lane getting to / from the final destination outside of North Platt. Speeds mostly ~80.  Also mostly flat although somehow dropped from 5K to 3K feet and then back up getting back into CO - didn't really notice it was subtle probably over a long distance. Overall MPG for the trip was 14.   Truck is still barely broken in - just got past 2K miles on the second trip. We survived some torrential thunderstorms in NE on Sat. night - especially driving to the hotel after the gig at 1AM.  Truck didn't skip a beat - I think the weight of these HD trucks really reduces the hydroplane chances.   All good - made it back to Denver area mid day on Sunday for fathers day.   I did a quick calculation to compare MPG and overall trip cost to my previous truck, a 2018 Colorado V6.  From previous experience I would have expected to see a 4mpg improvement on both trips.  Based on current gas prices which are starting to come down but still $0.75 to $1 higher than they should be based on barrel pricing, each trip was about $40 more.  Really not much of a concern in the grand scheme of things I must say.
