Adding Rear camera Above Bed

[NICK19LTZ]

Just want to thank FiatDale and everyone else for all the great info and help I finally got my retrofit done. I guess the only good thing about having the dreaded rear window leak was that I got the dealership to install the parts I had for this rear view mirror brake light retrofit installed at the same time as my window fix without any additional cost. Such a great addition and definitely recommend the mod.

Guys does this also add the Bed View feature on the infotainment screen?  I'm trying to locate a 2020 TB in my area, and very very few come with the trailer Camera Package.  Adding this after the fact may be an option for me.  

 

Also - is it required to add the mirror if all i am looking for is the bed view?

The bed view is a different camera. You can have either one separately, or both. I have no idea about adding the bed view to an existing truck. I imagine you would need the trailer camera package to add it.

Did you ever get your camera moved?

I am going to start a new thread where I did move the camera, so it is easier to find for people.

This is great! Is this something I would be able to add to my 2019 WT model?

FYI, I have been watching ebay for parts since this thread was started and there is now a seller that is selling spoiler assemblies for 225 that are painted and look to include the needed harness. I've also had the tapping noise coming from my spoiler so I've ordered all the parts to do the camera upgrade and hopefully fix the tapping at the same time. Managed to get the mirror for $540 and the cable for $30.

Excited to give this a try.

Yes! It is s stand alone camera and does not communicate with truck computer.  Its absolutely worth the effort, best MOD I've done.

Do you think the Work truck would have the harness above the headliner to plug the rearview mirror in to?

The power supply should be there taped to metal above roof console. Then you would need wiring harness from spoiler/camera to mirror.

Can someone look up the coax cable for a escalade or tahoe, that one would be longer and eliminate the issue with having to order a new spoiler.

Haven't done it yet but on the gm parts website these numbers and prices are what they are. Doesnt look like you need the whole spoiler anymore
Mirror 13536995 $540.09
Cable 84335461 $27.56
Camera 84699124 $140.38
Anyone finds a good deal on mirrors let me know and I'll be doing this immediately

Don’t you have to involve infotainment software updates to upgrade the mirrors?

[Kyle's AT4]

Its just the rear view which is why it is so expensive. It processes everything

This thread has the info. For me, it happens whenever it is hot outside and the roof starts to cool off. Does it really bad when I wash the truck in the afternoon and I spray water on the spoiler.
