View Full Version : "Prepped for rear view camera" ? 2017 High Country

This is a "feature" for the 2017 High Country's according to the website (as part of the High Country Package) - but I don't really know what this means... Does it mean pre-wired for powering a wireless system? On other brands or models I've seen brackets on the rear for Furrion cameras, but my High Country (2017) I see nothing, not even a sticker.
So I'm wondering if it just means nothing, like calling "tires included" a feature.... or "here's 80 sq ft at the back to attach something - good luck with wiring!"

If you don't see the Furrion mounting bracket on the back, then I doubt it has been prepped for the wireless camera. My Avalanche had the bracket and when I removed the bracket cover the 12V hookup wiring was tucked in there so it was a easy connection/install for the camera.

That's pretty much what I expected. I will not be surprised then - I am bringing it in to the dealer with the (pleasantly) short list from the shakedown trip so I guess I'll be prepared for the answer.
Thanks!

You may want to find out when your trailer was built. If it was a 2017 model built early in 2016, it won't have it. My Avalanche is a 2017, has all the features and interior finishes of the 2016 and none of the features or interior finishes of the 2017's built in the later part of 2016.

Is real easy to add the camera. If you buy the kit, everything is included. Most difficult part is fishing the power from a clearance light.

Thanks for the tip, I will definitely look into that.
