Backup camera grid lines

Recently took delivery of my 2023 premium luxury Escalade. I noticed there are no grid lines on the backup camera when the car is put in reverse. Called dealer who was not aware of a fix and noted they would send an inquiry to GM.

Has anyone had similar issues? Has it been resolved? Seems like a serious safety and security issue on a car of this size. The height and width of this vehicle makes it challenging to rely on rear view mirror and the backup camera itself provides an augmented view which distorts the space/dimensions behind the vehicle. Thanks in advance to all responders.

I agree, manual is a great reference. The icon to turn on and off the grid line is grayed out in my car but it was something that I specified at the time of order which prompted my call to dealer. They checked my vin and confirmed it was supposed to work in my car, which is why they are reaching out to GM. I’m really hoping this is something they can adjust by software update.

As far as I know the grid lines are on all that have the back up camera option. When looking at the screen with the back up camera on there is an icon 2nd from the bottom on the lower left of the screen. It can be touched to have the grid on or off - coloured line under icon lighted up = grid on.
If you are unable to select it 'on' then something is wrong.

Hi - THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THIS! My dealer just told me that GM knows about this issue but has no timeline for a fix. We are not going crazy. There is no way to turn on the grid lines on brand new Escalades!! We need to raise the priority on this. It's too expensive a car to not have a fix for this.

Here is video that illustrates issue:

My dealer told me that it was a module. I explained that I didn’t believe that would work and told them about this thread. They didn’t care. Fast forward a week the module came in they said they fixed it but would take a few hours to register. Drove this with my 2 young kids that night and went to leave where I was at and the car would not start. 😡😡. My dad had to come and he unplugged the battery and plugged it back in and then I was able to get home. I’m beyond frustrated. The grid lines still never worked. So that module the dealer said was the issue is not the fix.

I have the same issue. I purchased new in Sept and the 1st issue was they didnt connect the wiring for my rear door (so it wouldnt open) then they had no lines for the back-up camera. The dealership checked and it appears that Cadillac knows about it but they say its a programming issue and are supposedly working on it. I checked and there isnt any other information since Sept. So highly doubt they are "working" on it.
Kinda crazy to pay for a supposedly high end car and it doesnt have the simplest things that a basic car comes with....

Took delivery on a 2023 sport platinum yesterday. I have gridlines but I’m experiencing another issue with the camera.

So far it’s happened twice since I took delivery. I put the vehicle in reverse and there will be no image.

The problem goes away after I lock the car for a few mins and try again.

Just wondering If anyone else is experiencing this issue. I wonder if it’s software or hardware related?

I agree with LawGuy that’s not normal. I would have that checked out. Mine hasn’t done that. As for the grid lines did you get the towing package? From what I have assessed it only isn’t working on those without the towing package. I wanted the towing package but it was on constraint when I ordered.

I emailed this Cadillac Customer Service in this thread and they said they’re looking into it. I don’t feel too confident though. It seems like nobody has any answers. I don’t feel like it’s a high priority for Cadillac. I don’t feel like it’s escalating and getting fixed. Disappointed that not only did I have to compromise because of constraints and accept less than what I wanted but I received a vehicle that doesn’t even work right. You would think that since i had to accept less that they would work hard to make it right quickly. It’s been months now with no hint of progress.

Im not sure if this will be a fix for the grid line issue but it did fix my camera system malfunction issue. Whenever the system will malfunction my cameras go out. The whole system not just the rear. Had to turn the car off let it sleep and then the cameras would work when I start the car again.

I guess there was an update for one of the ECUs. It's been 4 days since the fix and I haven't had any issues since. Before the update my cameras were malfunctioning at least once per day.

Attached is copy of the work order. Maybe this might help some of you if they can do a software update.
