Default 2008 Tahoe Rear Backup Cam Problem.

Hi. My Tahoe LTZ has all the factory Nav., Camera, etc. I also have had a GMX-322 lock-pick installed on it since shortly after I bought the truck new and everything has worked fine up until a few days ago. Seems like I'm running into one issue after another all of a sudden...

When I shift the truck into "D", the backup camera tries to come on but there is just a black screen with the warning on top. When I get up over a few miles per hour or so, the camera screen goes back to whatever I had it on such as the Nav. screen or the audio screen, and when I'm coming to a stop and get to that certain low speed, the camera black screen comes back on again. The backup camera works as normal when putting the truck into reverse, and the "camera on anytime" function of the lock-pick functions as normal too.

What part of the truck would try to make the camera come on from using the shift lever to begin with, and what part would sense the speed of the truck making the camera come on and off? Is this the function of the backup camera module that is under the passenger front seat or is it something else?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.

The only thing I can think of that is speed related is the VSS line that inhibits certain functions in the Nav/DVD system. It's what the LockPick gets around. I'd start there. Maybe disconnect the LockPick and see if problem goes away. Possible the LockPick has gone Tango Uniform.

wondering if you ever got an answer to this problem. im having a very similar one on my 08 Tahoe LTZ. i have all factory equipment and the rear camera started to malfunction and eventually went out altogether. it also seems to delay switching over once in drive coming from reverse. i want to replace it and got on the forum to get a grasp of how to since all the aftermarket shops claim its not possible.
