Yea, but I have a 2011. It looks like the climate control is in the radio on the 2012. In the 2011, it was under the radio, so all functionality was retained.

It seems the metro kit and a 2012 won't work together as you would lose control of climate control without the stock radio.

All the controls are still there just like the 2010. Only difference is that when you change settings there are icons and messages displayed on the radio.

Example AC system off.

Then the picture I showed you shows the fan position speed, fresh air intake, and which ducts it is blowing. The Metra Kit most likely would still work. Your aftermarket head unit just won't display this information.

Gotcha...that's good news for 2012 owners.

Re: Program TPMS on 2012 Camaro

UPDATE:

I was able to program the TPMS on my dad's 45th anniversary Camaro doing it the same way as my 2010.

Somethings I noticed.

Even though the TPMS screen does not say press Set/Clear, if you hold it, it will ask if you want to reprogram, and go to the program mode.

I took note of the summer tires TPMS settings.
The turnsignal light for the tire wanting to be learned will be illuminated just like on the 2010 model. I had to do this twice to learn the tires, as the left rear did not take the first time around.

It appears that instead of losing all the sensor info, it will only lose the tire you didn't program.

I also had to run to each of the tires, as the time period to program was not nearly as long as the 2010 model.

So what I did was we had each of the LS wheels pumped to 40psi, (they had the GM OEM TPMS) then took off every valve stem cap, and let out 5 seconds of air on each until the car honked and moved to the next tire.

The first time around I didn't have the valve stem covers off, and the program period ended on the left rear tire. Instead of showing a reading of nothing it showed the old summer tire value.

My dad has been driving the Camaro around for the last two days without any error messages.

I hope that helps someone! So even though GM took it out of the menu it still looks like you can initiate the program sequence. I hope this isn't "fixed" or tuned out, as I don't think we should have to go to the dealer and perhaps have to pay money for something a competant user can do themself.
