Hello Gents, And now.....the rest of the story. I installed the Chamberlain mirror (with three button remote) I ordered off of Amazon. The center part of the mirror cover was a pain to get off but I managed to get it. After that, the only real problem was that the barrel/stem that is attached to the new mirror is larger than the barrel/stem on the factory mirror. Consequently, the contour slot on the center part of the mirror cover was too small to slide over it. I had to use my Dremmel tool to make that opening big enough to fit around the larger barrel. All in all I am happy with the new setup and I like the fact that I can take the remote out of the mirror in case I need to leave my truck parked outside at night. I’m not a trusting person, if you know what I mean. Lastly, you should know that the battery for the remote is non-replaceable. I’m okay with that because they claim that it should last around 10 years. Chamberlain does sell just the remote if the battery ever does die, for about $65.00. Here is the link to it on their website: https://www.chamberlain.com/arq-universal-remote-control/p/TM110.

So, after talking to my Chevy dealership, I found that even though there may be power to the auto-dimming connector, the components needed to make it work (wiring harness from overhead console to mirror, module, and programming) was cost prohibitive to say the least ($400 +). So the auto-dimming mirror option is out. Even though the shopchevyparts.com manual dimming mirror was reasonably priced at $131, by the time you added tax & shipping it came to more than $150, which was really more than I wanted to spend. I finally decided on ordering the Chamberlain 3 button combo mirror/garage door opener on Amazon. It was only about $110 and shipping was free because I have Prime. Here is the part I ordered: Chamberlain Group TM210 ARQ Mirror with Garage Door Opener, One Size, Black It seemed like the best option for me price-wise. I’ll let you know how it works out. Thank you all for your input and help.

Thanks for the info. I think I’ll try and get the combination dimming mirror with garage door buttons. The picture at shopchevyparts.com looks like the buttons are built into the mirror itself.

That looks like a Really great option and probably a hell of a lot cheaper than getting the factory Homelink console. Thanks! I checked out that company from the link you sent and found several negative comments about them (shopchevyparts.com) on the web and not one positive comment. They could be legitimate, but I’m a little wary of a company that won’t let you order a part without creating an account. I think I’ll call them next week and do a little more vetting of their legitimacy.

Thanks for the great picture, that helped a lot. I agree with you about that being the Homelink plug and thanks for the heads up about the dimming mirror plug.

I just bought a 2020 Silverado 1500, but it did not come with programmable garage door buttons (Homelink) installed in the overhead console. I wondering if anyone has installed one after they bought their truck? Also, I am having a hard time finding out if the truck is pre-wired for the Homelink console or if I would have to order that wiring separately. Any help would be appreciated.
