Surround Vision Recorder

[PintoKid]

Has anyone gotten the "Surround Vision Recorder" working. We have the surround vision but I don't see a way to record it. If you have the cameras and the USB socket there does not seem to be any other hardware required. Is a software update needed? I have tried various size USB drives formatted all different ways.

Last night a driver passed us on the left shoulder and proceeded to brake check us. I tried to get my phone out to record but this maniac got far ahead of us in no time by cutting off everyone else on the road.

Here is the section in the owners manual (page 219, PDF version) that describes the operation. I don't want to hang a dashcam on the car when we already have 6 cameras built into the car.

"If equipped "

The car is a 2025 Midnight Edition. As I previously mentioned, we do have "HD surround vision". @bdevaux do you have this working? As far as I can tell the recorder itself is not a separate option. The "equipped" is the 6 cameras for the surround vision, which we DO HAVE. I went online to build an Equinox and the only option is just " HD surround vision".

Please correct me if I am wrong. I'd really like someone who has this working to reply.

The equipped is the software to run it

As I stated in the first post ...

I have the exact same question. There are no options beyond HD Surround Vision so there must be a way to get the recording to work. Someone put it in the owners manual for a reason, right?

Vehicle Availability​

Currently, the only GM vehicle that offers the Surround Video Recording System is the Cadillac CT6. The system is standard on CT6 Luxury, Premium Luxury and Platinum trim levels.

My first post has an excerpt from the EQUINOX owner manual, not a Cadillac. We're not missing any hardware. Yes, I have found numerous references to the feature for Caddys. But Chevy clearly intends to make this feature available on an Equinox.

I wonder if anyone who was able to get that elusive software update that turns on the Universal Home Remote also got the video recording enabled?
