Expert Reply:
Any wireless device that operates on 2.4 GHz (like a Bluetooth system in your 2011 Chevy Silverado) can interfere with the reception quality of a wireless backup camera. Turning off the phone may not shut off the Bluetooth device in the vehicle.
The only way to avoid interference is by using a system that is completely hardwired and not wireless. The Hopkins Rear View Camera with Backup Sensors, # HM60195VA, is a hardwire system. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation for you.
