Anyone know how difficult it would be to upgrade the rear view mirror?  My trail boss came with a "dumb" mirror.  No auto dim, no compass, no onstar, no temp read out, nothing.  I'd like to at least have auto dimming, compass, and temp read out.  Rear view mirror camera would nice too.  Is there any chance that the wiring is already there for it and I just need to simply replace the mirror and plug it in?  

 

I've seen a lot of aftermarket options and some of them look pretty neat, but for the most part they attach to the existing mirror and I'd like to find something that is as close as possible to stock looking.

 

Thanks!

I took some pictures to maybe help some people! I saw that there are three plugs up there! One for the rear view mirror and two I don't know what for. I'm hoping it's for the rear view mirror camera o

So I finally had time to do mine yesterday.  Like others have said, the hardest part is removing the black cover behind the mirror.  It's in two pieces.  I was able to get the larger piece loose relat

Following as well. My RST stickered at $54K... it's absurd at this price point that it does not offer an interior electrochromic mirror.

Just curious, where are the controls (buttons) for On Star functions in your truck?

They are just below the home link buttons I believe.  In the same panel as the interior lights.

Aren't the ambient temp and compass direction on the audio display?

I haven't seen mirror with temp and compass since my 2011.

Tailgate camera, temp and compass have always been on radio (which of course gives a much larger camera display) on later ones I'm familiar with. 

 

I've been assuming the new for 19 body style would continue to have those features in the audio rather than the mirror.

 

2019 silverado - auto dimming is standard only on LTZ and HC.

 

Base mirror (no upgrades shown as available)

D31    Mirror, inside rearview, manual tilt

 

Std on LTZ and HC

DD8    Mirror, inside rearview auto-dimming

 

Optional on LTZ and HC

DRZ    Rear Camera Mirror, inside rearview auto-dimming with full camera display
1 - Included and only available with (CWM) Technology Package. Not available with (UVI) Trailer Camera Package.

Yes they are.  However I use Android Auto almost 100% of the time.  Which does not show temperature.  If they had the temp in the DIC that woul dbe better but sadly it's not there either.

Looked a little more at guide.

 

Standard onLT and above, optional on WT , Custom and Trail Boss

UE1         OnStar and Chevrolet connected services capable 

 

Compass, located in instrument cluster
1 - Included and only available with (UE1) OnStar.

 

(so compass only comes with Onstar, and on 3 lowest trims, Onstar only comes if ordered)

 

 

Standard, all trims

Exterior Temperature Display, located in radio display

Seems then that AA should not take over that top strip on the screen where the temp/compass info is located.

(the other 95% of the screen should be enough to display the phone projection - imho)

On my radio I believe the temp is on the bottom.

Could be.

On my 18 it's at the top, but they could have move it in the new body style.

 

There is a screen in AA that will give the temp (possibly from phone rather than truck?) but I'm in agreement that temp is one of those things that would be nice to have available, anytime, at a glance.

I've been on the look out for a ltz or slt rearview mirror for my LT TB. If I can find one and buy it at a reasonable price I'll let y'all know. Not much out there right now with the trucks still being new but I will do this swap when I find one.

Awesome.  I'm anxious to see what you come up with.  I think first thing to do is to see if the wiring is up there to support his.

Yah I hope so too.

If any one has a part# that would be great. I can't find anything online yet, I can only find the mirror covers... My searching skills are not the greatest.

From what Redwngr provided above...

 

Base mirror (no upgrades shown as available)

D31    Mirror, inside rearview, manual tilt

 

Std on LTZ and HC

DD8    Mirror, inside rearview auto-dimming

 

Optional on LTZ and HC

DRZ    Rear Camera Mirror, inside rearview auto-dimming with full camera display
1 - Included and only available with (CWM) Technology Package. Not available with (UVI) Trailer Camera Package.

 

 

It looks like we currenlty have the D31.  I would want to upgrade to the at least the DD8.  I highly doubt that DRZ would be compatible.  I'm not sure what camera that rear view uses.  3rd tail light camera maybe?  I have the trailer package on my TB so I wouldn't be sure at all.

      Clunk when putting truck into drive and reverse.

      By Matt Parker · Posted

      I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
