Rear Camera on a 2019 ZL1 1LE???
What the heck is going on here. 1LE's don't have the new rear view mirror camera but I was unaware that the back-up camera had moved.
Or since this car has Manufacturer plates maybe they are experimenting with the full on camera for the 2020 models. |

My guess is, if you look at that car, it has the regular ZL1 grey / silver calipers. Probably a regular ZL1 that was converted to A1Z (ZL1 1LE) duty for testing at Milford Proving Grounds.

There was a Yahoo article I read this morning talking about the 2019 ZL1 1LE and it was saying that GM moved the camera to the back fin because the wing could not support the weight of the new higher resolution camera that they moved to in the 2019 models.
Now, if that is the actual reason, I am not sure, but that is what I read. I tried to find the article link, but couldn't.

I believe they do but you have to give up PDR. I know mine does not have either.

So the new rear view camera isn't available on the model with the most obstructed rear view? ...That sounds about right.

Strange the car in these spy pics from the autoblog article has no hood wrap, no red brake calipers along with the rear camera in the antenna. Maybe they are testing out the camera for a nice retro-fit mod. I really want it. |

I didn't know that. So no front parking sensors, and no Homelink.....what else am I not getting?! (other than the car delivered )

I really think this camera we see here in the antenna is test so that can be rectified for the 1LEs. Seems like the perfect spot for it on all cars. |

FWIW, I saw this early Tuesday morning. It addresses some of the questions posted here. Although there are no clear shots of the brake calipers.

I had no idea this was an option. They must be trying to make the cars more appealing to millennials.
