See my above post. All you have to do is confirm the wiring outputs are in the factory harness which it more than likely already is.

The truck connector has wires on pins 3,4,5,6,7 which match the non dimming mirror. The purchased autodimming mirror has wires on pins 1 thru 9. After plugging the mirror in, the power light and onstar works but dimming feature does not. I dont care about the reverse feature just want the autodim to work.

 

Any ideas?

OK. Let me see what I can come up with.

Thanks!

 

I read on older models that 2 wires run to the drivers mirror to activate the dimming feature. I would not think they would be necessary for the rearview to work also though.

 

So that leaves 2 other wires, one that is mostly likely the reverse disable feature. What is the other wire?

Sorry, I haven't checked in lately.

 

I noticed the same thing (it wasn't autodimming) but probably subconsciously was hoping it was my imagination. Onstar and power light work on mine as well, just won't autodim.

That's what I was thinking. I just finally got a hold of a computer and was looking around. Do you have this wire? If not, simply run a wire from that to an ignition source and it should work.

Here you go. I think I figured it out

Adding 12v to pin 2 allows the auto dimming to work. Now the issue is where to tap on to 12v ignition source?

 

Maybe the easiest is from a spare fuse in the fuse panel.

Yes, you can. Purple/black wire in green plug @ BCM pin #6 is ignition wire too.
