This is my first GM vehicle. I've always been a Ford guy. I have a 2013 F150 as my daily driver. One thing that Ford has that is WAY better than Chevy is the backup camera. Not only does the Ford backup camera have lines to show you if you're straight (and they're broken into 3 sections: Green, Yellow, and Red to show distance), but the Ford camera is MUCH more clear. I couldn't believe how horribly grainy the one in my ZL1 is. It looks like the first ever attempt of adding a camera to a vehicle. And the ZL1 camera has that bubble effect that distorts things, while giving no more of a wind range view than my Ford without the bubble effect. No lines, terrible picture quality, and bubble distortion. I'm very disappointed in this. The camera is probably my biggest complaint about the ZL1. At the moment, I can't even think of another complaint. I guess that's not such a bad thing. However, it's still annoying every time I put the car in reverse.

Any software update on the horizon? One that will incorporate grid lines on the B/U camera, that is. |

No reason to ask why you bought a ZL1. I plan to be in the situation but in a '14.

Having just purchased a 2013 ZL1 this month, I'd too would like to add a note of disappointment with the absence of a back-up reference overlay on the camera; as well as the substandard quality of the video - it also lacks low light sensitivity (unlike Ford's camera in my F250) which makes the ZL1's backing camera essentially worthless when attempt reverse operations at night.

For updates you required the software but which one you updated it is not reliable. It can create the issue so wait for company updates in the new addition. You will have more features.

I've wanted to say this somewhere again for a little while concerning placement of the back up camera view on the Nav screen for a minute now. I was at a grocery store, in the parking lot, and a dude in some convertible Lexus or something or another put his top down and then buried his head down in his Nav screen to look at his back up camera and didn't give a damn that he almost backed over me. If it wasn't on his screen, it didn't make a difference.(for those that wonder how he almost backed over me, his wheel was cut as he was backing out and I was to the side of his bumper)
So I like it up on my mirror, because I am constantly looking in the side mirrors, the actual center mirror, and the backup camera view, and out the front when backing up. I think people are going to have a tendency to bury their heads down there and get tunnel vision. thank you
