Adding features (air ionizer, camera) to my BW after delivery

[SacLacFan17]

Hi everyone--

I like some jumped on the availability of a dealer-spec'd 5BW when I could, having to settle for losing the Parking package (and with it the air ionizer, rear camera, and hands-free trunk release).

I could be without the latter two, but having owned a prior non-BW 2020 CT5-V, I loved the air ionizer especially once that "new car smell" ends. Do you think I could take this back to the dealer to get this installed? Not that I ever really used it but what about the Rear view camera? Something about it just missing those features bugs me and makes me want to see if I can add them after the fact.

I tried to do a search but didn't see if anyone else had looked into adding any features after they've received their BW's.

Thanks guys!

I know people have retrofitted the rear view camera. Simple enough since you need the the shark fin camera, wiring and the mirror itself.
The ionizer, dont see that being a simple thing. Specially since the only way to turn it on is via the infotainment settings. I imagine it wont even be an option to turn it on since the firmware will be different. Seems like a whole lot more complicated for what it is.

I have been itching to install a front camera on my 4-BW. I have had great luck with GM products being plug and play in the past, so I am hoping adding the camera will just enable the shadowed icon so I can select it as the desired camera input.

Yes, a CT4 BW front camera would be very helpful!

Has anyone used/installed the official Cadillac camera? How hard was the installation?

You will be able to get 200% more features and capability from a dashcam that costs half as much. I got a three channel: 4k/HD/HD cam + hardwire kit for less than GM wants for that single-channel 2k relic. Running the power cable to the fuse box is simple. Getting the cover off the fusebox is a pain but that's literally the hardest part of the whole thing. If you don't want to do the install yourself Best Buy will do it and you'll probably still end up under 500 with a much better system. Just my $0.02.

Hey all, being that my CT5 BW is a come up off of somebody else’s discarded order, it doesn’t have all of the options I’d have selected… close, but not quite.

Has anyone purchased/installed an after market GM OME Dashcam?
