• Regularly check cable connections to ensure they are secure.
• Keep the software updated to the latest version for improved features and bug fixes.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter:

6.1 No Sound When Playing Music (Bose Audio System)

If your Silverado is equipped with a BOSE audio system and you experience no sound, ensure the AUX audio setting is correctly selected within the FM setup options on your vehicle's dashboard menu.

1. Use your steering wheel controls to navigate the dashboard menu.
2. Go to "Radio / Media" and select "AUX Input".
3. If the AUX option is not found, check the AUX audio cable connection in the center armrest area. Unplug and re-plug the cable firmly.

6.2 Backup Camera Image Not Displaying

If the backup camera image is not appearing, follow these steps:

1. Check Camera Cable Connection: Ensure the camera extension cable is correctly connected to the Backup Camera Video Input cable on the RCA harness. Do not plug the camera cable into the CVBS cable in the RCA harness.
2. Check Reverse Signal Wire: Locate the third wire in the power harness (counting from the black ground wire) and ensure it is connected to the reverse control wire. This connection should be a "T-splice".
3. Extension Cable to Camera: Verify the extension cable is securely plugged into the camera.
4. Power and Ground Wires (Extension Cable): The power and ground wires on the camera extension cable should NOT be connected to any other wires. Separate and insulate them individually to prevent short circuits.
5. System Selection: In the stereo's settings, navigate to the "Reverse" menu. Find "Reversing System Selection" and select "AUTO".
