Nicely structured Milwaukee charger-bank set up!

Did you have to lose 360-degree camera and BLIS when you added the cap?

I'll second this question. Wondering what happens to that.

Yes, owner says that you lose the camera function.

Why would you lose those functions with a cap? I think the BLIS sensors are built into the tail lamps and the rear/side cameras aren't blocked.

I wasn’t sure if the bed camera info was used for part of stitching 360. Would be interesting to see a screen shot. Not sure why cap would impact BLIS though.

curious because I’m still thinking of adding a cap.

I know there is a camera up in the top rear brake light too. Perhaps that one is critical to BLIS and the 360-degree imagining?

That's shitty.

Chevrolet engineers gonna capitalize on that I bet...

What's the over under on those batteries going missing? 30 days?

Love the setup, but telegraphing this in a high vehicle break in time... (Sorry for being a Deborah Downer)

Probably not until they figure out how to put in a periscope.

You don't lose BLIS or the rear camera, only the bed camera is blocked. Add these all the time for customers. Federal Law requires all vehicles F-250 and smaller to have a working back up camera regardless of any up-fit that is added.

Isn't the backup cam on the tailgate??

Yes, I can't see from the pictures if they had to take the tailgate off or not for the cap, if they did take the tailgate out they remove the camera from the tailgate and move it to the top of the cap breaklight so it still works.
