Fwiw, this is what I did that worked out great for my 2023. The Black Roof Console Connector X2 has the Ground (Blk/Wh) at Pin 5 and Switched Power (Purple) at Pin 8, as mentioned earlier in this thread. This is the connector closest to the driver when you drop the overhead console (the other connector you don't use is gray). I got the connector with the pigtails that fit the mirror PN# 13540313. The link is a page or two earlier in this thread too. After confirming the wiring and tested, I simply unwrapped the cloth tape a few inches, and ran a razor blade around the Blk/Wh wire in two places approx 1/4" apart, and tightly wrapped the Black wire from the pigtail then soldered. Same for the Purple wire and wrapped the Red from the pigtail, and soldered too. Wrapped both leads tightly with electrical tape, and secured with some small nylon zip ties. I don't believe there is a Reverse wire available up there on the Refresh, so I didn't use the green lead from the pigtail. Entire project took about 30 minutes. The hardest part is getting those two T15 console screws back home. Thanks to all of the earlier contributors for making this an easy mod!

I am talking about these mini flat spades that fit right into the molex connector that folks use to power radar detectors from the mirror connectors. With these if I can find them, I can get the pigtail, and use these spades to Roof Console connector right there.

Thanks!! One more question for the experts. Seeing we are going to need to tap into the wires up there, does anyone know what those little spades are that they use for the Radar detector leads. Little flat ends that you can push into the connector. Been searching around Amazon, and all I'm seeing is much too big. It think i'd much rather go that route than to tap the wires themselves.

Can anyone confirm one way or the other if the 2023 1500's have the harness with connector up behind the headliner or not? Just bought the mirror # 13540313 and I'm trying to figure out if I need to get that pigtail or not. Thanks!!

The seat belt is a PITA if you are working offroad with a trailer or something. Certainly, always wear it on the roadways.

Exactly, if the camera is obstructed by snow or condensation and cannot 'see' it will disable.

2023 RST - Around once a week I'd say. Minor annoyance compared to the Google Speech Services message every freaking time I start the truck.

I manually opened a foldered USB that had the following directory: Artist > Album > Song Then I created one Artist named Playlists > Playlist Name > Song Then on the PC, I just copied the songs from the original directories to the Playlist folder.

Burn your own music to FLAC if you want CD quality audio, which is many times better than any streamer or MP3. The problem of course becomes you cannot scroll very far before it gets locked until you stop. Retarded. It should simply have a few second pause.

Small Claims does not take long at all. It will however be interesting how GM responds. The issue is, they do not provide a specific listing of components and materials, so it's going to be tough to suggest they misrepresented anything. They are selling a complete system that performs in a manner that is entirely subjective. They could very well turn it around on this self-proclaimed audio expert and suggest he should have known that Bose is well known as not audiophile quality and he knowingly purchased it any way. This will be interesting.

I'm not going to age myself, but I recall thinking I was a big cheese when I mounted a 8 track player in my Z28.

x2 - That's the one I have and it's the best out there, imho.

Pretty easy fix. Get brighter aftermarket reverse LED's. Makes a big improvement.

I cannot speak for Alexa, but Google Assist will not work with Onstar. I've followed all of the instructions I've found, and nothing works. GA works fine in the truck to help control apps, etc, but within the house, it will not control the truck in any manner to Start/Unlock/Lock, etc.
