My truck is the 2017 2500HD WT. Not many bells or whistles.
I Installed an aftermarket Heated Seat Kit, Remote Start, LED Headlights, Stearing Stabilizer, and Leveling Tortion Bar Kit.
Has the IO3 Radio with a plain jane backup camera. NO stearing wheel controls, Amp, OnStar, or anything else.
I bought and installed a low end double din touch screen with car play.
To Keep the door Chimes I used a Metra AXXESS LC-GMRC-LAN-09
To keep the Backup Camera I purchased the Axxess BACKUPCAM-3 Backup Camera Retention Harness for GM 2014 & Up.

Question to those of you that have played arround with a WT
Where is the Connector for the Backup Cam? Do I have to possibly splice into it?
All the research I have done shows the Higher end trucks that have the module behind the glove box. I took both gloveboxes out yesterday and could not find any module or a connector that was similar to the BACKUPCAM-3 interface.
Everything that I have installed works great, Radio goes black when in reverse just not recieving signal from the camera. Not having the backup camera does not really bother me, it is for the most part useless unless backing up to a trailer. What is going to drive me completely Batty is having the camera in the tailgate and NOT working.... Yes I am that OCD...

Thank you for any assistance with this issue.

On my '09 it did not come with a camera and did not have any cabling or an interface.

My aftermarket head unit knows when I shift into reverse and turns on the camera port. I ran a new RCA cable to my aftermarket camera and plugged it into my head unit. Works well.

I think I found my Answer, With a lot of Googling I came upon a Colorado forum post about the same issue with the Base IO3.
Aparently Pins 4 and 5 on Connector X1 (Gray 20 pin) Gray/Yellow + and the White/Light Blue -
Fingers crossed I find the same wiring in my truck once I get to pull it apart.
Unfortunately but Fortunately I will be on vacation Sailing the Caribian for the next ten days. So I will update my findings once I get back.

Sorry for the major delay, Did 10 days in Belize, came home for two weeks and then a road trip to Daytona for Bike Week, Hauling the Toy Hauler and Harley. Again, the Camera in this truck is useless except for backing up to the trailer. So the 6 or so times I had to hook up I was doing old school, back up a bit, get out and check, back up again, find you went to far, Rinse & Repeat.....
Today the weather was nice so I took the dash back apart, found that the #5 and #6 wires are the Camera in the 20 pin Grey Radio Harness Connector. #5 Brown w/Yellow Stripe is + and the #6 Bare Wire with Electrical Tape is -
I spliced the RCA connector Bare Wire to the Bare wire and the Insulated Yellow RCA Wire to the Brown w/Yellow Stripe and now the camera works again

...just fyi, tayler and briboy haven't logged onto the site in a number of months... you are unlikely to get a response from either of them.

You might find the wiring diagrams/connector pinouts on gmupfitter.com, but you'll have to do some hunting for that info.
