Back up Camera
Is it possible to switch out the B/U Camera for one that has guide lines?
Links to possible choices would be appreciated. |

Yep no guides for 2013. It would be nice to have them.

This a big gripe with me. Every car I have/had with a back up camera has the lines. Come on GM lets get an update!!!

I would almost bet, that it is a software thing rather than just the camera.

Yup to the software. I have a friend that just took in his Denali pickup and they did a software update and he now has the lines on his nav.

Yeah adding the lines via a software update would be nice - hopefully GM listens

My 13 has Nav, so the camera view is on the Touch Screen, not in the mirror.
I was surprised that it did not have guide lines - If it's just a software update, then there may be hope. I thought it was a camera/lens thing. C'mon GM, do us right! |

I'm in! Would love to have the guide lines and was surprised when it didn't. Even my dealer said that it had them but it doesn't.

I Seem to recall on my 2013 ZL1, there was a yellow warning cone apearing in the camera view as I got close which turned into a red warning cone when I got real close and the beeping got real fast.
I don't recal if those cones moved as I got closer or not. The cars at home right now so I can't run out and check. |

I've seen cones the cones too.
I'm pissed (and call me stupid) because I was backing down my driveway using the BU camera and couldn't judge how close i was to cobble stone curb and banged up a rim. I blame it on not having the guide lines (have to blame someone/thing but should have used my mirrors). |
