Cameras

[matt grz]

So the dealership director talked me into dumping my 2020 gmc Sierra 1500 elevation 5.3 due to vibration issues that no one can figure out and I bought a 2024 gmc 1500 AT4 3.0.  
 

Truck is nice, the Bose radio totally sucks, installed that kicker sub and it’s kind of ok now I guess.  

But wtf is going on with the cameras!?  I can’t see a damn thing at night.  The truck has about half dozen cameras and the only one that you can kind of see anything at night is the front camera.  I’m really bummed out by this.  My 2020 had an amazing camera.  Did something change?  Is there a fix for this?  It’s always something with GM I’m so sick of it.

Common complaint on the 23 and 24s. I find mine is OK, but have read a lot of posts from people who swapped out an earlier model for the later one and your complaints are par for the course. There are several things that have been decontented from the earlier models:

• Bose audio (not the premium in the Denali and AT4 models) is garbage compared to earlier versions
• Keyless entry  door handles are only on the front doors now
• Cameras are garbage compared to earlier versions

 

I'm sure there's more, but those are the ones I'm aware of.

Check if there are any settings in the infotainment system that allow you to adjust the brightness and contrast of the camera feed.

Thanks.  No adjustments.  Had the dealer install the little VLEDS led license plate light bar and holy smokes is that thing bright.  100% fixed my rear view camera issue.

For me, it is crazy I don’t remember considering I paid at least five maybe even $8000 more essentially for those massage seats -that’s how bad they are.    Rather than enjoyment from the massage seats. I get frustrated…

 Worst stereo I’ve ever had in a truck. 

No bass & no one can hear me when I’m on the phone so I end up having to hold my phone.   My 86 Toyota 4Runner 30 years ago shifted in and out of four-wheel-drive Much easier… The turning radius is diminished when you go in four-wheel-drive as well, like mmmmlmmto reverse and back into something you better be with enough interest to **** man my battery went dead to my key. After like three months for the new battery I haven’t had remote entry sense… I’ve checked infotainment extensively. In fact I did it again today the power windows from the remote don’t work. The only thing that seems to work is what I don’t want to work that damn beeping even though I turn off remote left in car ‘beep’ still does it

Seriously, the multi gate was a big selling point as well and it’ll click and act like it’s unlocking six times before it actually drops down the top half sometimes the bottom half

• Remote windows from the key fob. Yep those have never worked. Turned them on turned them off turn the volume off no work.

I’ve always leased my vehicles, so I get a new one every couple years of course is the one time I didn’t lose. Incredibly disappointing.
