2026 Turn Signal Activated Cameras

[bhubb3rd]

Anybody figure this out yet?

I would like to activate the mirror camera on each side of the vehicle when using the turn signals. I though I saw this somewhere, but no one can tell me if it actually works and how to activate it.

I have HD Surround Vision on my window sticker, and when I asked the dealer, they said the turn signal mirrors were somehow connected to to new record feature. Turned that on, and it works, but had no impact on the turn signal activated mirror cameras.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

This has been discussed before here and supposedly GM was going to do a software update to add this but don't hold your breath waiting. You also need to have a trailer connected for this to work. My friend bought a 25 Sierra SLT at the same time I bought my 25 Yukon and his does have this feature and again only works with a trailer connected.

When I bought my 25 Tahoe HC the exterior mirror cameras DID NOT turn on when the turn signal was activated. I didn't even know the vehicle had that option. Then I started to have some issues with the multimedia and OnStar system which resulted in the dealership replacing the F-Module. As soon as I got in the truck at the dealership to drive home the turn signal activated cameras came on. Something to investigate with your dealership.

You can turn that feature ON/OFF in the setting menu.

I didn’t even know I had this option on a 2026? I don’t recall any menu settings for it either. I’ll have to look.

As far as the trailer mine has the max tow and it has the settings where it extends the blind zone alerts to cover the trailer as well; didn’t see anything about a camera but I haven’t towed with it yet.

I think you have to have the Encanced Trailering Package ($350 option) in order for the turn signal cameras to function.

"Turn Signal" what's that ?

I just found this demonstration video at a dealership…

Turn Signal Activated View.

 

[LegalBrief]

If u have Android 14 it’s in ur settings .. super annoying, I turned it back off

 

[rlhmarines]

I have Android 14 but I don’t have this in my settings…yet.

Update: It seems you must have the “Enhanced Trailering” option, just as “Texan42” stated previously, that gets you the see thru trailer option to also get the Turn Signal Activated View function without having a trailer hooked up otherwise.
We could pester our dealers to push a software upgraded to get it or try and upgrade it thru the dealer parts dept maybe. Stay tuned sports fans!!

I just found a work around…maybe.

Would not work for me as I need the side camera views when a trailer is attached. According to that video probably won't work on Yukon or Tahoe anyway.

 

[rlhmarines]

It should work now now with a trailer attached, this is only for use without hooking a trailer up. Have you tried hooking a trailer up and testing if you have the installed software in your truck?

If you are referring to me, yes I have connected my trailer and nothing and no activation place in the infotainment screen either. This was done after Android 14 was installed at the dealer.

Do you have these trailering options?

Yes, I have all of those except the enhanced cooling radiator which is standard for the Duramax LZ0 so not listed as an option but do have it.

So that sticker is my truck, a loaded 2026 Tahoe with all the trailer options. I also don’t have any options for these turn signal cameras in my settings and my truck has been updated with the latest software.

I haven’t towed a trailer yet so maybe all these things will “activate” when I hook it up.

I don't have them either, I have an AT4 Ultimate (includes Max trailering), and they didn't show up when I connected a trailer. I don't have Enhanced Trailering Options either, but GMC doesn't list this as part of that package.

Super frustrated with this.

My ‘26 Tahoe has Max Trailering, Technology Package, Comfort Package, and Z71 Off-Road Package but according to the GM Trailering Manual it would need the Luxury Package to have Rear Side View (Turn Signal-Activated) cameras on. Maybe there’s a way for a dealer to update the software to enable this feature on trucks that don’t have the Luxury Package.

 

[Saltydog]

Been very busy, but I found the setting, and apparently, we have the side-view turn-signal-activated cameras.

We have the Reserve Package and the Trailering package.

We have a 25 XL at4 duramax with super cruise and max trailer and we do not have the turn signal activated mirrors. Kinda a bummer as with supercruise you have all the cameras needed.
