Option self Dimming Mirror

[jim larson]

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.
