The Rear Vision Camera display on the infotainment screen may show an image of a video camera icon with a slash through it when some 2018-2019 Silverado 2500/3500 and Sierra 2500/3500 models are shifted into Reverse.
If the vehicle is not equipped with the Rear Vision Camera (RPO UVC), such as vehicles with the box delete option, the display of the icon is a normal operating condition. The video camera icon with a slash through it is displayed to inform the driver that a rear camera is not available on the vehicle. (Fig. 22)

Per Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS), the infotainment system no longer can be reconfigured to eliminate an image when placed in Reverse, unlike previous model years.
Rear Vision Camera kits can be purchased at GM dealerships under RPO RWR.
