$1400 for this project? Yikes!

I do look forward to seeing the outcome once you get it all connected. I need to bite the bullet on this and get it done.

The standard installation is identical to the factory option (Denali, High Country, Escalade only) with all GM parts.

My installation includes a second camera on the back of my cargo trailer. The trailer camera option was not available when I purchased mine.

I installed the washer system this morning. I use GM p/n 84606448 and roughly 18" of 5/32" ID rubber windshield washer tubing.

84606268 appears to be the hose which connects to the camera nozzle. The fitting is a larger size than the camera housing Infotainment supplied with my camera, likely due to a mid-generation change by GM. I attached my generic 5/32" hose directly to the washer nozzle. This also required removing a fitting and last segment of hose from 84606448.

84601635 is also not required, and I don't see how it could be used in any installation of the camera washer. These are the 3 parts are currently listed on the "Things to know" tab of the product page. https://infotainment.com/shop/exterior-accessories/digital-rear-view-mirror-cameras/g-bdlcammir-21suv/

My generic 5/32" rubber hose attached directly to the camera washer nozzle. The nozzle is intended for a push on fitting and has a semicircular profile bump rather than a triangular profile of a hose barb. The hose is quite secure as I mistakenly thought I had to remove the hose at one point. :mad:

Compared to stuffing extra wires through a grommet, it was relatively easy to shove the camera lead and washer hose through this one, which is sized to have those options from the factory.

I removed this fitting and section of hose from 84606448. I also removed the retention clips to allow it to fit through the grommet between the hatch and body.

My generic 5/32" hose fit this perfectly.

Close-up of the grommet / boot from the inside of the hatch.

A bit wider view provides some perspective and shows the additions cable tied to the factory installed reverse camera wire.

This is the 5/32" rubber hose I used to connect the GM tubing to the washer nozzle. This had been laying around the garage for at least a decade, possibly 2. I only used about 18" of it.

I modified the camera cable to allow connecting the camera in the hatch or a camera on the back of my trailer. I was fortunate enough to have be able to use a crimp tool at work to install FAKRA connectors. They're a bit challenging to install due to the small size of the center contact (I used a microscope) if you're not accustomed to working with small electronics (I'm not but had guidance).
