Owners manual does say “if equipped”. Does your window sticker say it is equipped?

I reached out to a contact at GM and your right, he brought up the same issue "if equipped"

My Window Sticker just says Surround Vision Camera System.

I guess the GM Marketing Material for 2025 Model Year was a little presumptuous as the feature may need an OTA update to actually work.

I have always had Thinkware dashcams in all my vehicles as it makes a huge difference when your involved in an incident on the road and you have to argue with insurance companies about fault.

@Sgt1411 I thought this feature wasn’t released yet and that we are waiting g for a OTA update. The instructions are very familiar to MBZ

BTW - (you can but a a usb 3.0 C drive on Amazon super cheap… they don’t have moving parts so I don’t understand “downgrade “.. I’ll try tomorrow just for fun

I'm interested to see your results, maybe it is only the USB-C port not 2.0 port

I found this camera online which I'm guessing is the overhead console interior camera but I'm getting that confirmed before I purchase.

If anyone else knows please advise....

Time, extreme temperatures, and multiple write sequences can degrade (not "downgrade") USB storage.

I bought a Scandisk USB - C drive and tried it in my Tahoe, NO JOY!

I'm guessing PVR or DVR software is not loaded yet.

This morning I went on the GM website and did a 25 Escalade build it says way down in the description of features that my build was:

• Connected Cameras capable

• Requires future vehicle software update

Thanks for your investigation into this feature that I’m sure to add as a workaround for our ‘25 Tahoe, I’ll be following this closely.
