Upgrading the Backup Camera on My 2019 Tahoe - Need Suggestions!

I’m looking to upgrade the backup camera in my 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe and would love some advice from those who have experience with this. The stock camera is decent, but I’ve heard that aftermarket options can provide much better visibility and features.

What I’m Looking For

  • Aftermarket Options: Has anyone installed an aftermarket backup camera? If so, which brands do you recommend?
  • Installation Tips: Are there any guides or tips for installation that you found helpful? I’m considering doing it myself to save on costs.
  • Compatibility: I’d like to make sure any new system I choose is compatible with my existing screen and interface. Any experiences with this?
  • Reviews: Any reviews on specific backup camera kits would be appreciated. I want something reliable and effective!

Safety First

Safety is my number one priority while reversing, so I want to invest in a solution that enhances my visibility. Let me know what you all recommend or any pitfalls I should watch out for when upgrading the camera!

Looking forward to your replies!

Upgrading the backup camera can make a huge difference! I’d recommend checking out the Garmin BC 35. It’s compatible, easy to install, and has great image quality.

I’ve heard good things about the Esky EC170-02 as well. It’s budget-friendly and pretty easy to set up.

I installed a rearview camera from Brand X last year, and it’s really reliable. Make sure whatever you choose has a good night vision feature!

That’s a great point! Night vision is essential, especially for us city drivers.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to use a wireless backup camera? I’d love to avoid all those messy wires.

Yes! The AMTIFO A7 is a solid wireless option. It’s got good reviews!

I love the idea of upgrading! Just be sure to check compatibility with your Tahoe’s existing system so everything works smoothly.

Another option is the Auto-Vox CS-2. It’s easy to install and comes with a monitor. Has anyone used it? Thoughts?

I’ve installed the Auto-Vox and agree, it was simple! Just follow the guide and you’ll be fine!

Has anyone tried the speed camera feature on some of these models? I’m curious if it’s worth it.

I’d be wary of that—stick to backup features. Safety first!

Haha, I’d rather not be speeding while backing up! Let’s keep it focused on safety with these cameras.

I like my backup camera, but it does feel like I’m using something from the Stone Age compared to newer models. Any recommendations for modern upgrades?

You might want to look into the rearview mirror cameras like the LeeKooLuu. They integrate well and give a much clearer image!

That sounds intriguing! I’ll definitely check that out.

Remember to look for models with good customer service! A solid brand will have your back if you run into issues after installing.

Upgrading the backup camera sounds like a great idea! For the 2019 Tahoe, you’ll need a compatible camera kit and some basic tools like a screwdriver and wire strippers. Have you looked into specific models yet?

Absolutely! I replaced mine with a high-res model last year. The hardest part was connecting the wiring without messing up the existing harness!

If you’re considering a DIY approach, I recommend watching some YouTube tutorials specific to the 2019 Tahoe. They can really guide you through the process step by step.
