im sure there would be some policy of their's that wouldn't allow it instead they will recommend you go into a buick dealer to have a tech install it. |

At up to $500 for it, I would have to seriously think if it's worth doing. If you plan on keeping it for a long time, then why not? But the Encore/Trax is small already and smaller vehicles are usually easy to move around unlike bigger vehicles. Maybe it's just better if we get to know our Encores/Trax's better so we don't have to spend money we don't really need to? |

Add rear-view camera to Canadian-spec Encore While the rear view camera is standard on Encores in the U.S. due to government legislation, in Canada, a rear view camera is not even available. There isn't a kit either -- the install is fairly complicated and requires reflashing software. A dealer (Orangeville, On) has already converted one Encore and has quoted me $477.00 plus tax. Says that software is there just needs to be programmed. I think he is using an aftermarket camera though. But he is going to cover it with the full 4 year warranty. Not ready to pay that much! I am going to wait to see if the GM part will be available and do it myself. I removed the rear trim to see if the camera wiring is present. NOT installed, but I think that the top wiring include the camera wiring, but I will check with the dealer. I think all the wiring you need is there.   The OEM camera for the Encore is the same part number as the OEM camera for the Chevrolet Equinox. |
