Rear view camera
Is it possible to "turn off" the rear view camera on the 2015 SS?
I had a '13 and it was easy. Can't find the off switch on the '15. Am I missing something or no can do? |

The symbols and guide lines can be turned off, but I don't think you can turn the camera itself off.
To turn the symbols or guidelines on or off: 1. Shift into P (Park). 2. Press the CONFIG button. 3. Select Rear Camera Options. 4. Select Symbols or Guidelines. The feature is on when a check mark appears next to it.

Why would you want to turn it off? Just curious. I love it for backing into parking spaces, which I do whenever possible.

I have a 2010 and I wish I had the rear view camera, I will not back my car up I just hate the blind spots and she is so wide, I thought about putting in a aftermarket one and may do some day. I don't understand why GM did not put them in the 2010 when they have been around for years.

Yep. Same for the '13. Looks like they changed it for the '15 model. The only 2 options are symbols and grid lines.

Because I'm stuck in old school mode I guess. Lol. I have more faith in rear and side view mirrors. I also don't like it when that screen changes. It's distracting. Kind of like pop ups in email. I know. Kinda weird. It's simply a preference.

Even if you disconnect the camera it will still pop up. It would just be a black screen. Sucks that they took the option out to turn it off.

Funny, when we bought ours I thought why the heck would anyone need a RVC in a car. Now since having one in the Camaro & wife's CUV, I've gotten so comfortable using them to back into the garage & parking spaces I'm installing one in my Corvette this week.

I installed the one from Gen5DIY and I love it. I don't have to be afraid to backup anymore.
