Well I ordered the factory nav unit as well as the rear Backup camera off eBay the other day (this came with all required wiring, antenna, disc etc). I had lengthy discussions with the seller (who had an excellent rep) and he assured me that after providing my vin #, the unit would be programmed to be plug and play once it arrives at my door.

I'm now starting to worry that even after beging told by several gm parts departments my car was ready for these upgrades, that perhaps my vehicle does not already have the wiring run to the back for the rear backup camera. I keep reading about the camera module that would be present under the passenger front seat if my vehicle left the factory ready for rear camera install. However, I've also seen this under the front passenger kick panel in some posts.

When I look under the front passenger seat, I see 2 "boxes". One is under the left rail almost next to the center console and has a silverish top. The other is larger and is closer to the right rail, near the front, and has a black top. The part number on the larger doesn't match numbers I've seen in previous posts from years ago.

Could someone confirm if either of these boxes is in fact the camera module, or better yet provide a picture of what they KNOW to be the camera module? This being said, if I do have the camera module, can I assume the power and video lines have already been run to the back tailgate?

Sorry for the lengthy posts but I'm desperate for some clarification on this!

 

You might look up the P/Ns on gmpartsdirect to see what they are. Or you parts dept can look them up.
