Reverse Camera Harder to Park than K2?

Lucely Engineered · March 11, 2019

So I recently traded my Colorado in on an LT Trail Boss. Before that i had a 2015 GMC SLT AT. On my new truck ive noticed my back up camera seems to make it much harder to back into a parking space. The wide angle makes it impossible to judge how close i am on each side, and the backup lines are wider than any spot im backing into so its harder to judge where the lines are. Because of this im completely back to using my mirrors. I have a friend with a High Country and since he has a bunch of different camera settings, his seems to be fine. Am i the only one who has noticed this? Or is something off about my truck?

My camera is fine when it works right but sometimes it looks fisheyed and when it does that I need to place it back into park and then reverse again and it's fixed.

If you don’t have Convenience Package II with the HD rear vision camera, it just sucks. The LT loaner I had didn’t have it, and the camera angle and resolution was terrible compared to my 2016. My LTZ camera is much better.

I do have that, the quality is not the issue. The HD camera is so much brighter and easier to see than my old trucks. Its the wide angle that just makes it useless when parking that bothers me.
