Phil,

Yes my truck does have the button on the lower right corner of the HVAC control panel for the heated mirrors only. Lights up and heats the mirrors when I depress it and shuts off on it's own after some unknown period of time if I forget to !!

Very cool. I’ll look at the schematics again. I’m starting to think it’s the same circuit for both driven from the same button. Thanks!

Hi, I have a 2015 Silverado 1500 LT, front and back defrost, powered mirrors and manual fold. I'm wanting to eventually get tow mirrors with lights, and might as well get it heated too. Would the heat option sync into the rear defrost as I'm seeing in the comments?

 

Looking at options on sites like rock auto or 1aauto that are compatible to my truck but don't specify the trim needed, should they work fine? I'd like the lights to work atleast

Hey Phil,

Are you still helping folks add heated mirrors to their LTs? Honestly I took them from granted in my previous truck and didn’t realize how important they were.

This one is probably a little difficult.

The heat circuit at the door jamb that gets delivered to the mirror ties into the rear window defrost. So if you don’t have rear window defrost, you will not be able to gain this on the mirror.

I don’t know of a workaround to accomplish this.

Hello, I have a 2016 Silverado 1500 LT and have the heated rear defrost option. I recently installed a set of towing mirrors that have the heated mirror, turn signal indicators, and the LED puddle lights. The motor to move the mirror works great but would be real interested in getting the other features working. Is this possible? 
 

Thank You!

Good afternoon, my wife just purchased me a 2014 GMC Sierra SLT 1500. I want to upgrade the mirrors to tow mirrors with cargo lights, turn signals and power fold if possible. Heated would be nice, but I don't know if I'll be able to get any of these functions to work because the stock mirrors are manual fold and power adjustment only... I see many options online to purchase the tow mirrors, but don't really know which ones to buy and I also see a stand alone harness that's supposed to make it plug and play, but I'm not sure it will work with my truck.

 

The build date is 10/13 if that helps...

 

Can anyone help me with the right mirrors at a reasonable price and also guide me in the right direction to make the mirrors work...?

 

Thanks in advance!

I have successfully added heated mirrors to my 2014 wt no rear defrost or heated mirror option. it was alot of work but can confirm rpo code of truck and it works. had to reprogram hvac module after all the wiring and swap out fuse box as well.  I took a picture of power to wire feed when hitting defrost button.  I just need a bcm reprogram for the windows and heated seats and fog light for next project.

      Tire psi

      I tried before I updated the scan tool just incase an update messed it up, but it never worked so I updated the scan tool and it still didn't work.   Only difference is I click on Sierra not Chevrolet cause I have a Sierra.   If I click on 2026-2024 I didn't have any option to change placard, when I click on 2023 it does give me the option but when I try to do it,.it says vehicle not supported!   I have my region or market or whatever it is set to America I think, is that what yours is set to?

      Its just that it worked on 2024 trucks on this forum and my 2025 model truck, unless GM did something since that point to screw up access or Autel has a bad update. I haven't had need to use my tool since last year when I did the changes to the placard pressure settings and since then I updated the software on my Autel but have not plugged into the OBD so hard to say if I would get a surprise as well.    All I know last year when I bought the Autel I was warned to be sure to update it before I tried using the unit as they said who knows how long ago unit itself was actually manufactured as the software could be way out of date.

      And so you had gone through the process of registering and updating the tool and so on ?. All I can say is that on the front page as the tool fires up you go to advanced mode, then vehicle model comes up and you choose Silverado ( not the DRW or EV  since your a single rear wheel ) , then I think its choice 2 which is 07/2021 - 12/2026 ( 433mhz 13542523 ) as that is the series of tpms sensors and then go down to choice 5 which is tire type/pressure selection. Hit yes and it says to connect to OBD port and turn ignition on.    Having said this, I updated the software in my tool lately and these year range choices look different from the past due to them doing some updates it would appear and I have not connected up to the OBD port since last year so hopefully I am not in for a surprise with them screwing up the software and that it won't work on my truck anymore either.    So my question is, when you plugged into the OBD and started your truck it had that message on the Autel screen "vehicle not supported" ?. That does seem odd as tire shops would be pissed right off if hey can't use their tool on the model year after mine that in theory is supposed to be much the same truck ... unless GM did some change in the computer system to block certain things from access.

      Understanding and using modern scan tools is its own body of knowledge. I had little hope that would work...programming access to the BCM is probably required and that is not easy for us consumers. Expensive scan tool, GM programming subscription, online authentication, etc.   It also may be a matter of finding the right dealer to program it for you. Flashing a modern BCM might be a little too advanced for most tire shops.

      AUX switch install

      Update for anyone following:    Installed everything as shown in diagram. Opted for 8 AWG from Battery Positive to a 50A resettable inline breaker. 8 AWG is tied into to 2x 12 AWG wires feeding a 6 way fuse bus in parallel (manufacturer’s design of what I purchased).    4 of the 6 fuses available for circuits are tied to terminal 30 of each relay. I tied a jumper from one of my spare circuits off the bus to terminal 86 of each relay. The trigger, terminal 85, was pulled from my interior by way of T-Taps from the X61A-X5 pins 10, 11, 17 and 23. This was the hardest part of the job. Even with the X61A unbolted and the X5 removed - there was VERY little wiggle room.  I added back up lights that I want to come on with my cargo lamp - but when I would check continuity between S48A-X1 pin 18 to its respective landing point on the X61A-X5 it triggers the factory relay… Instead I opted for a add-a-fuse on the passenger interior fuse panel (fuse location 10 - cargo lamp) and ran it through the boot on the driver side to my load. Did this to avoid introducing any electrical gremlins.   Note: Please check for continuity between the S48A-X1 and the X61A-X5. In my case wire colours were not the same as other’s who have posted. To do a continuity check you need a Multimeter. Completely disassemble the S48A-X1 and remove the brown face plate off the X61A-X5 by way of a flat head screwdriver - this was the only way I could get any results.   The outputs, terminal 87 of the relays, were fed into a junction box and landed at Individual studs and were labelled Aux 1-4.    At this point, all you need to do is run wire to your loads and bring them to ground. I created a negative bus in the engine bay, all my negatives land here.    For anyone having issues with all of your new aux switch lights coming on with the press of one - I noticed this only to be an issue when the battery wasn’t hooked up to my relays? No idea why, but it was quickly corrected by having my system buttoned up and functional.
