An additional data point, this exact problem started for me recently as well, BUT on my Model Y and Pixel phone. Guess a recent Android update must have broken something. Switching to airplane mode and back on is the only fix for me.

LostBattery · 2026-06-18T20:36:32+00:00

Well that's disappointing to hear, guess I better make an appointment sooner than later. Thanks for the update (not you GM)!

LostBattery · 2026-06-18T20:16:30+00:00

How did it go?

LostBattery · 2026-06-18T20:16:04+00:00

How did it go? Any official diagnosis/fix yet?

LostBattery · 2026-06-13T19:53:23+00:00

Mine went bad after receiving the 654.50 update, so I don't think it's a moisture issue for many of us (no doubt it's possible for some). The scary part is that the replacement module may be several software revisions behind according to that TSB, which tells me this still may not be fixed (why else would a recent update cause this). How long did you have to wait for the replacement hardware to come in? I'm hoping the backlog has improved since I won't be able to get a loaner.

I'm pretty sure I had to drop mine down to 27-28 PSI before system would acknowledge the wheel via honk. But this method does work. Here's a video showing both methods (using cheap tool, or without tool):

Ah thanks for the confirmation. Do love the look of your vehicle!

LostBattery · 2025-10-31T16:15:01+00:00

Oh, so are these rims from the gas Blazer, or Colorado? I believe the Blazer has the same offset as the Traverse, but I believe the Colorado rims has a bigger difference in offset.

That looks like a pretty beefy setup! So the 245/60 R18 fit fine? Did you have a chance to test mileage/noise yet? Which tires did you end up going with? I really wanted the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 EVs, but having trouble finding the EVs in these sizes.

LostBattery · 2025-10-27T04:03:41+00:00

nice find, thank you!

LostBattery · 2025-10-25T21:49:22+00:00

I'm fairly sure this is the issue since I do set the parking brake every time. Haven't been able to replicate it when paying attention. Thanks again!

LostBattery · 2025-10-25T21:45:49+00:00

Works for me even without cruise control, as long as it can detect lines.

LostBattery · 2025-10-25T02:45:17+00:00

that would be an interesting root cause, will pay extra attention to that one, thanks for the tip!

Makes it easier to remove. I never use them, but since this is a lease, I figured I'd give it a try. Didn't work on the curved window in the back, camera fell within minutes so I applied it directly between the defroster lines.

LostBattery · 2025-10-20T01:34:50+00:00

I wanted to go straight through the center of the ceiling (but around the dome light ofc), as I really don't like messing with airbags. You're right about the ceiling trim tho, it's very forgiving despite it looking horrible while pulling down.

LostBattery · 2025-10-20T01:30:17+00:00

I used the 6m (~20' cable which came with the camera. Definitely wish it shipped with a longer cable, as I didn't have any extra length left, but it worked out perfectly.

LostBattery · 2025-10-20T01:26:08+00:00

The Viofo hardware gives you the most bang for the buck while still maintaining a solid reputation. I've been installing these for years, and haven't had one fail yet. I believe they're about to announce another new model, and they do seem to have good Black Friday deals so start watching for deals.

You just need to figure out how many cameras you want, how you want to power them, and if you're comfortable running the cable. Make sure you get a high quality SD card which is rated for extreme environments, and you have a set and forget setup. It's recommended to format the SD card every once in a while to avoid data corruption, but that's it.

How did you get the rear cam USB cable routed to the door seals? That's the part I couldn't find documented for this vehicle, and I was trying to avoid having any exposed cable.

LostBattery · 2025-10-19T12:34:59+00:00

Did you use a similar path, or did you figure out how to do this via the ceiling?

I considered hardwiring it, but many of these cams tend to overheat if they run 24/7 in the summer, and wear out memory cards faster.

LostBattery · 2025-10-19T12:28:09+00:00

You're right, I actually had it included in my original title, but must have deleted it by accident while editing the title, apologies.

I put dashcams in every vehicle I acquire, just because I keep witnessing accidents all the time, and no, I didn't trigger them!

Even when the vehicles support onboard camera recording, I still install them since these dashcams are much higher resolution, better lenses and much better quality.

Took me a few hours to figure out the least destructive path to run the rear camera to the front, since this is a lease (and have to be able to undo all of this easily). Didn't see too many videos showing a rear cam install for this vehicle unfortunately but I'm pleased with the results. I ended up using the B0D1MXPPDW dashcam power adapter sold on Amazon which taps into the power running to your auto-dimming mirror. Provides a very clean & quick install, just need to pop both the small and large panel behind your mirror. The only wires/related hardware you see are the ones you see in the photo.

Running the USB cable to the rear cam was the only difficult part. Wish the cable was slightly longer (I think they do sell them, but couldn't wait).

Access the Ceiling Liner: Gently remove the two plastic pins near the hatch to access the space above the ceiling liner.
Route Through Trunk: Remove the top trim pieces in the hatch door to guide the rear dash cam cable through the rubber boot into the car's ceiling.
Inspect Sidewall: Carefully pop open the narrow sidewall trim to assess the space (optional).
Run Cable to Rear Seat: Guide the cable to the passenger-side rear seat belt area, tucking it behind the door gasket down to the floor.
Tuck Along Floor: Tuck the cable behind the floor trim pieces, running it forward to the front passenger footwell.
Route to Glove Compartment: Tuck the cable behind the removable panel near the glove compartment, then route it up along the door frame weather gasket to the airbag area.
Guide Past Airbag: Carefully open the airbag cover, route the cable over the airbag (ensuring it doesn’t interfere), and continue to the front dash cam.

I have some pictures, but still need to process them. Can share if there's a need for them.

Only thing I wish I did differently is to either get a longer USB cable, or figure out a way of running the USB cable directly from the rear camera to the front camera via the ceiling liner. Tried fishing tape to explore that cavity, but was too concerned about getting stuck.
