Trailer camera calibration is driving my crazy
2025 Sierra Elevation 3.0 Diesel
Who decided to make the transparent camera calibration so difficult? Last week I installed the camera on the back of my travel trailer. I was able to see the camera thru the camera app, but had issues calibrating it, so I quit.
This weekend I tried again. Again I could use the camera thru the camera app but the trailering app constantly said that the camera was not connected. After driving around for abd hour I parked the TT and started working on other things. For shits and giggles I decided to check the trailering app before I disconnected from the truck. Suddenly the trailering app is recognizing that the camera is connected.
I decide to take it out on the road again to see if it will calibrate. Nope. Drove around for over an hour, on streets with painted lines and some with no lines. I kept it under 31mph, I saw the cal progress line but it never moved. Trailering app would say cal failed see owners manual.
I heard that if you change one of the measurement values it will put the trailering app back into cal mode which it did. I started watching the trailering app instead of the progress bar in the camera feed.
When I was in Park, it would read, not calibrated. As soon as I put it in Drive, it would switch to calibrating. After letting off the brake but before I got to 10mph it would switch to cal failed see owners manual.
I've been trying to get this thing calibrated for 2 weeks with no luck. I still have my spare tire mounted to the bumper, which is in the camera frame. Could that be the problem?
Anyone else have this much trouble getting calibrated
