How to Install Mirror Dash Cam on Sierra or Silverado

[@gilbertorosales4094]

I’m watching your video as a pre-work tutorial for the same cameramen make for a GMC sierra. Thank you very much for taking the time to show the installation, walk-through of the features, and real world perspective operation.

[@FixitFelix529]

Glad it was helpful!

[@darcibuckle6442]

Thanks for posting! Most others had install by the licence plate or tailgate. I’ve got a great back up camera already, so I don’t need that placement. Yours is exactly what I’ve been looking for 😊

[@dropdog395]

I hooked mine up and went on a road trip to see how I liked it. I didn't. Objects in the mirror are WAY closer than they appear. Sometimes it turns on when I start the car, sometimes it doesn't. Some cars behind you look like their lights are flashing, like a cop's lights. They're not. I'm a mechanic, so it wasn't too hard to install, though it took probably 8 hours. Not a job for the average DIYer. Was so glad when I had my OEM mirror reinstalled, and all the hokey wires and fuse taps removed.

Thanks for the idea of the rear camara

[@danallen4243]

Thanks. Getting ready to install on my Tundra

[@dboi323]

All the new gmc have the camera in the same place perfect spot you choose

[@paulhammond3607]

Has there been any issues with leaking around the light? I tried installing inside the back window but I have 5% on my windows so at night I couldn’t see anything. Was hesitant to install on back window due to fear of it leaking water inside and weather wearing down the camera.

[@dallu702]

Very well experienced, was really helpful. Thnx

[@gbosearcher-3686]

This was very helpful to me.... except my Silverado has a center sliding window...power operated. Any suggestions? I can not pull the headliner out because of the window bar...When I tried to pry it from inside the back light assembly...it is 3 inches from the edge of the liner...

[@Enchiname_la_piel]

How did you end up installing it?

[@gbosearcher-3686]

​@@Enchiname_la_piel. Drilled a small hole at the edge of headliner. Ran the cable down behind the seat and under the weather Guard floor protector.

[@robertbeyers1308]

Why didn't you buy a hardwire kit and connect directly to your fuse panel. Instead of running the power under the seat?

[@fishnbaja1]

Hi there, I've been looking for videos to install a mirror dash cam on my Ram 1500 and yours is close to perfect. One question about outside installation: Can you give us your thoughts about how it operates when it rains? Any issue with drops blocking the view, smudges forming on the camera, etc? Thanks.

[@FixitFelix529]

When it rains, you can still be able to see, but not that good Where I live, it barely rains so on places that don’t rain too much is very good

[@freddiecolon-velez8089]

Ok, the video is good, but I don't think the double-sided tape would work in the Arizona heat. So, where could be an alternate location for the rear camera?

[@MrZnel52]

No problems with the water leaking around the 3rd brake light after install?

[@FixitFelix529]

No leaks at all. Everything is working perfectly

Great Job!

[@spartan2010100]

Nice tutorial! I like the set up you did with the back up cámara at the third brake light👍 I try to do the same but for some with the rear cámara at the third brake light but my back cámara looks upside down! I don’t know if you remove the cámara from the bracket and put it back upside down, 🤷‍♂️ but for me I can not put it like you did because the cámara point to the sky lol

[@FixitFelix529]

There might be an option to invert the camera angle. Search it up on the option of the camera

I notice you have the buttons for the retractable steps. Did you install this upgrade on your truck?

[@FixitFelix529]

No. I don’t have retractable steps. It’s just there for looks

[@bigathaclair4233]

Hi question what wires did you connect your camera to the 3rd light I didn't see which ones you connected it to for your install if I may ask?

[@FixitFelix529]

I don’t understand your question sorry. Can you be more specific?

[@bigathaclair4233]

I want to wire the same way you did but I don't know how or what wires to connect my camera to to make it come on the way you did by removing the third light and replacing it back with the camera underneath but what wires did you connect it to for power thanks

[@FixitFelix529]

If you bought the same camera I have than the video is very self explanatory but if you have a different camera with other cables then I don’t know. I am getting electricity from the middle compartment of the truck. That power gets to the screen mirror and then you connect the Camara cable there on the screen mirror that should give you power to turn on the camera

[@colddeadhands5167]

Nice job....thorough....

[@vinmarz]

The camera will eventually collect moisture from the rain and humidity. The best place for all rear cameras is on the inside rear glass.

[@AnnoyedMango]

Im wondering if anyone can confirm their wolfbox camera doing that, im thinking of doing exactly what he did but im not sure about putting the camera inside considering I have tint all around

[@effineduardo8591]

I’ve had my rear camera mounted outside for the past 6 months, been through rain and drive thru car wash and now currently going through a 110 degree+ heatwave still working absolutely perfect!

[@paulhammond3607]

@@effineduardo8591did you mount your camera like he did? Through the back tail light? How’s the seal to the brake light? No leaking inside the truck?

[@paulhammond3607]

@@AnnoyedMangoI’m also curious. I have 5% tint on my windows and the camera is to dark to see anything out the window

[@Raconteur3]

I can confirm that after having the camera on the rear exterior of an Q3 there is no corrosion/moisture/heat damage to the camera at all. It is safe to live on the exterior. Though I am curious for a truck if there has been any leaking

[@robsmith4884]

STOP.... for those watching... running wires above your head in the headliner area has 2 risks.... one... roof mounted airbags are designed to deploy without those cables in proximity... two..... loose wires rattle. a rattle close to your head sounds like a great idea. Either lower the headliner further and route them attached to an existing harness with velcro or tesa tape.... OR.... route it down the hinge pillar under the scuff plates to the rear....... and... his rear floor vents are blowing UNDER the carpet.

[@G30-h5e]

Im on the verge of sacrificing my 3rd break light and drilling through it so the camera doesn't stick out like that lol

[@effineduardo8591]

Did you end up doing that? I thought about mounting on top of the 3rd brake light but making it sit as flush as possible but it might still look too goofy.

[@G30-h5e]

@effineduardo8591 yeah ended drilling through it and letting the camera sit about 1/4 out of it and super glued amd siliconed around it, sanded it down, covered the camera lens and pretty much blacked out the whole thing and it came out super nice, if you don't paint it black it's gonna look super ghetto tho
