I have a 2025 Sierra Elevation.

 

I was inquiring with my local dealer about the transparent trailer view camera. He couldn't locate any info on it,.said he heard it was on backorder and when products aren't available GM usually removes it from the system.

 

I messaged GM About this camera, asking for a part number so I can try and locate one somewhere. Not sure why they are being secretive, refused to give me a part # and said they would inquire with my dealer. Explained again that they have  no idea or info but insisted on making the call. Surprise surprise they had no info.

 

So GM tells me there is no camera for the transparent trailer view, my only option is to get an aftermarket setup, then said they don't recommend it as it may void parts of my warranty. They ended the chat after I asked why they are advertising this feature.

 

What gives???  Did I just get a dummy over there?

Do you have the 360 Surround View Camera system on your truck?  On your trailer plug in your bumper, do you have the 7 way round and then two doors for camera hookups?

Yup. I have all that and the provision for that camera including the plug in, I told them that but they still say a transparent view camera doesn't exist.  Even gave them my VIN. So they should know all that too.

Current p/n is 86584185.  Not on backorder either and is available. 

 

I'd like to think that # is something a Canadian dealer can order.  Its only $650 US MSRP so I'd imagine its $900+ CAD.  I see some listings on eBay Canada and they are like $950 CAD but then $90 for shipping.

Ahh good stuff, thanks for that. I'll do a little searching both sides of the border.

... Or build your own

and if you do not have a 3d printer

A lot less than $900 CAD - Mine will cost me ~$350 for 2 versus $1300USD 

Is there a file around to make this on a 3d printer?

      Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive

      Audio Dampening and quiet

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens?

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By newdude · Posted

      Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
