Is it possible to add/replace an interior or an exterior self dimming mirror to a 2014-2017 LT similar to what is standard on the LTZ? Thanks

 

Hey There. Yes, this is possible. I've done them myself.

The Inside Rearview Mirror thread where I posted the "How to" is here:

If you also want the dimming to occur on the Driver's Side Mirror, you'll have to upgrade your DL8 Mirror to DL3 Mirrors. Here is my thread for that.

I have also made it easier for the DL8 to DL3 upgrade and make it Plug and Play with a custom harness that I build. Here is the thread for that.

I have a 2014 Lt silverado 1500 with the standard mirrors (no tow Mirrors), will this work on my truck? So all I have to do is buy your harness or do I also have to buy a new set of mirrors?

To convert your mirrors to the DL3 power folding mirrors, you'll need to buy the mirrors, correct powerfold switch and the harnesses from Pgamboa to make them work. There is a known issue with the puddle lamps not having 12v from the BCM on the 14's though. Mine does it, but I will do the diode mod here when I get it.

Exactly what cbrsilv15 said...

 

Jim, also keep in mind that in order to get auto dim on the driver's side mirror, it is dependent on having the auto dim rear view mirror AND the circuits required the rear view mirror to pass the auto dim circuits to the driver side. When the rear view mirrors auto dim activates, it sends that single to the driver side mirror.

 

My harness will have the auto dim circuits pinned (since I am unwrapping them anyway for the lighting circuits) but you have to complete the mod for the rear view mirror to get them to activate.

 

Also - I would need a photo of the door connector (the side that goes into the body) to verify what pins you have/don't have.

If you are talking about changing ALL the mirrors you will need pgamboa's harnesses.

 

If you only want to change the interior mirror to auto-dim and keep you existing outside mirrors "as-is" just follow his first link. There are also instructions on other forums that just pull a power and ground from the overhead console.

Hello,   I have a 2016 Silverado LT I bought last Aug.  Soon as i got it home I ordered a auto dimming rear view mirror thinking it was plug and play. When i saw it wasn't dimming I started to do some reading. Ran across all this info on it. I'd like to use the rear view mirror but all the links above comes back to this page. I really don't care about the outside mirrors. Also I don't see how or where to buy a wiring harness if i need one. 

thanks

Send pgamboa a message and he will hook you up. I had no desire to change the outside mirrors, so he made me a wiring harness to add the inside mirror and get the reverse disable working.

Works great. I will warn you the wire you need to land in the X61 box is a real pain to get in there.

Do the tow mirrors auto dim?

No tow mirror on the marker dims... that I’m aware of.

      The Peckish Synapse

      If it has a stick I can have fun with it. When my wife first got her Acura years ago I used to tease her about it. I was only interested in muscle cars. They’re gone now. So once a month I drive the Acura. Every once in a while I’ll take it to Redline. But just normal driving on some twisty back roads usually does the trick.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      I went through again with a test light and everything checked out.    I suppose it could be the MAF itself but I've tried 3 different sensors, 2 of which were in running vehicles previously (the one in this truck, and the one in the donor truck), as well as a new one I picked up from NAPA. I would just be surprised if all 3 were bad.   EDIT/UPDATE: I swapped in the MAP sensor that was originally with the 2010 PCM, that made the code for map sensor voltage high Go away, and the map sensor seems to read normal with key on engine off (14psi or so), but it still doesn't run and does the same thing as before.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By Atlas · Posted

      In addition to a cell or wifi connection, the infotainment needs to be enabled to download software updates. That's a toggle within the system settings.   But...if the truck was prevented from receiving updates in a past life, missing a bunch of updates may mean it won't go back and download all of those because they're not available or the system is too far out of date.   If a formal recall depends on a software update, the recall for that truck remains in an open status until it's applied. The dealer would need to apply the software update in that instance.   Most updates downloaded and applied via the infotainment aren't recalls/safety recalls, they're enhancements and usability fixes which aren't critical.

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By Vu1can · Posted

      Recently I've been getting a message, "New Brake Pads Detected. Reset Brake Pad Life?", But I haven't had the pads replaced and the truck only has 28,000 miles. The Brake Pad Life shows Front 64% and Rear 79%. I select NO to resetting the brake pad life and the message goes away but comes back at the nest restart.   I stopped by the dealer and was told that it sounds like a software glitch that would require reprogramming. Even though I have the extended warranty, they tell me that reprogramming is not covered unless a module was actually bad and needed to be replaced. Simply reprogramming is not covered. So, they want $200.00 just to diagnose the problem. If it turns out no bad module, another charge on top of that to do the reprogramming. If the cause was an actual bad module, everything would be covered under the warranty.   Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Should this issue be covered under the warranty?   Thanks

      NHT is diesel only, correct.     The GVWRs for NHT on 3/4 ton bring them to the same numbers as many of the 2WD 1 tons.  A crew 4x4 standard 3/4 with NHT is 11,750lbs, a 1 ton same cab/box/4x4 is 12,100lbs.     Hubs and hub bearings are the same for 11.5" and 12" axles.  Housing, diff carrier and ring/pinion are larger for the 12".   All gas use the 11.5" axle, 3/4, 1 ton and 1 ton DRW.
