Having the same issue today on my limited. 750 miles. Also it randomly brakes when reversing out my driveway. Super annoying

Late to the party, but backing into my spot at the condo tonight and I have the green screen of death. Big Horn with about 2,500 miles. And to think I've given this backup camera so much credit for the clarity... 20190118_214314.jpg

Yesterday screen went blue in the afternoon while backing up. Turned truck off and tried a few things. Did not get better. Was gone for ten minutes and tried again and the issue was fixed. Between this and the weird noises and vibrations and weird drops in power the issues are adding up and I only have 3500km. Not even at the first oil change yet. Just waiting for my first service to address all the issues. New dealer to me so hope they are good.

This is what happens to me but only when I start the truck up when parked in the ramp at work or close to the garage door. Clears when restarting truck. Super annoying...

I had my camera replaced this morning by the dealership. I get in the truck this evening and the damn thing still doesn't work right. 20190119_181430.jpg

This morning my backup camera just showed a black screen for 2-3 seconds and then a bluescreen when backing up. This was after I remote started the vehicle. After I went to the store and put it in reverse the camera worked fine.
This is the 2n'd time it has occurred.

That is exactly what mine is doing. I understand from your post it just started Saturday by any idea for a resolution?

No, I had it replaced on Saturday, because I was previously having this issue. Unfortunately, that didn't fix the problem. I have an appointment next week for them to correct my crooked rear doors. So, they will try something else then to fix it.

Thanks and good luck. Please post how it turns out. I’m going to take mine in this week.

Seems my backup camera doesn't like to work on cold mornings. Usually is up and working by lunch, but not always. Living in Michigan this will be an issue...
Anyone else noticing this trend?
Mine on cold days will flicker or pulse the picture with intermittent quit blurbs of all black. I take mine in Thursday. Live in MI. Really noticed it from Friday to today

Hi Ram19Va,
Please send us a private message if this continues to happen. We understand how frustrating this may be and would like to help you get this address by your dealer!

I hope that put that feature back in... I want full screen glory with mine. Not this half crap, otherwise I would be better fit just getting the 8.4

My black screen with the backup camera is no longer intermittent, it is now permanent. Went to the dealer and told me it’s either a module issue, which are back ordered, or a software issue, which was checked and my VIN shows no software update available. Very frustrating for a $60K plus truck and less than 3K miles. Any help out there?

Is there a serving for full screen view while in reverse?

Not sure I know what you’re referring to.
Sorry should read is there a setting to have the full screen with back up camera? Mine is a small view with the 360 on the left side. I would love a full screen view when backing up.

Not at this time. I believe the initial release of the uconnect had that capability but after an update or 3 it was removed and hopefully it allows full screen again.

Mine went black yesterday. Zero image, no gridlines, no nothing.

And... working just fine today. Must not be weather related. It was 50 and dry yesterday and we got 6 inches of snow this morning.
