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.

Can anyone post a pic of what theirs look like at night maybe at a stop light or something? something I can use to show the dealer

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:

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      I was using recirc/max air. Especially if it really hot i start out by lowering the front windows a little with regular ac the go to recirculation after a few and rolling windows up. And it does not have the newest refrigerant. It has per the info under the hood r134. Not the new r1234yf.

      AC diagnostic on a neo-classic Camaro

      By Atlas · Posted

      tldr; Shade tree mechanic stumped by variable displacement AC compressor.   Not Silverado related, but for my 2000 Camaro SS. I've never really used the AC since acquiring the car a good handful of years ago. I plan to take it on a trip this summer so I wanted to make sure the AC was in good shape. On an 73 degree day in the shop with the car idling I set the AC on "Max", temp set to cold, and fan on hi. The compressor turned on and air turned nice and cold.   I let it run for several minutes but noticed the compressor never cycled off. The engine was up to temperature enough that it began cycling the cooling fans on high. I had a set of manifold gauges hooked up and it was consistently at about 25 psi on the low side and between 200 and 225 psi (warm engine) on the high side. Per temperature charts, the low side is low (should be 30-35) and the high side is a little high (up to 170 per chart). I read the low pressure as potentially being under-charged underscored by a continually running compressor This was also underscored by temp readings of mid-20 degrees at the vents. Not just cold, freezing cold. Switching off the AC but leaving the HVAC fan on high produced a deluge of condensation underneath the vehicle. I was getting ice buildup on the evap core most likely.   The low reading (25psi) concerned me that the compressor wasn't switching off so I swapped out the pressure switch. No change in behavior, still ran constantly.   The AC clutch works fine as it engages/disengages with the HVAC switch on command. The compressor relay is good as I swapped it with two different known good relays just to be sure. Having eliminated that, and the pressure switch, I added refrigerant, thinking the constant run and low "low" pressure were signs of a slight undercharge. Makes sense, the car is 26 years old and it doesn't appear the AC system has ever been touched.   Adding some R134a didn't meaningfully change the low side pressure. And that's when a lightbulb flashed upstairs. While I consider the car "old", it's possibly "new" enough to have a variable displacement compressor. Did some reading and sure enough. Dangit. I don't work on these for this reason.   Adding refrigerant means the compressor will just compensate and won't really change pressures until it's severely overcharged or undercharged. But at least I wasn't getting ice/frost anymore, but instead high 30 degree temps out of the vents. That's more normal, but with variable displacement now I have no idea where my charge level is at. It's probably overcharged now. The high side even with the engine radiating serious heat was never really over about 225.   The static pressure at room temperature is dead on, before and after the charge. Both high/low equalize after some rest.   I'm thinking I'll need to take it to a shop. I want the proper charge level so I'm not working the compressor too hard. The only way to get an accurate charge is to evacuate and then re-charge with the exact amount specified for the system -- at least that's what I'm reading.   Anyone here with modern automotive AC knowledge?

      Mine is in the shop for the AC now. While it did get cold after a bit, it would take a while to even start to cool the air at all. Turns out the compressor was bad and cycling.

      I call B.S. when I first moved to Texas my first house would only cool to 80 with the Texas heat. The AC tech said it was normal at 100 degrees outside. I remodeled the house put in a new AC. I could hang meat. My cars may need recirculating to start. Once moving it switches to regular AC and I could hang meat. Living in Texas no one would put up with only 20 degrees difference.

      AC in home or auto only cool down 15-25 degrees from outside temp, but what will help is to put the ac in recirc mode this will recirc the Inside cabin air rather then trying to cool down the outside hot air, I always have mine in recirc mode.
