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

 Installed a Gentex framless dimming mirror.  Spliced in to the glued harness (Violet/White wire) using the provided universal harness.  Works as it should.  There's homelink versions available for some extra $$.

I just picked up a 19 RST AllStar crewcab about a month ago. I also had the dumb mirror but I couldn’t believe it didn’t even have a flipping homelink button. Who drives a 2019 these days with a garage door remote hanging on their visor! Ridiculous. So I did like I did for my motorcycles and kids power wheels and just bought a Homelink remote off eBay. Looks like the ones you usually see on visors, only run about $20. I mounted it just behind the ceiling console on the angled part of the headliner.

 

I tested the wiring in that plug inside the ceiling and checked for power and just tapped into it. Oh and just FYI, I don’t know what that plug is for either, but the one I tapped into don’t remember which of the 2 big ones, has constant power. So maybe that will give a clue to what it might be for. I had the courtesy lights (door open light button) turned off so it must be something else that gets power either all the time or at least when the doors open

If y’all need the part number or info on that rear view wire cover for the 2019 Chevy Silverado, here’s the info for it. It’s only about $10.

 

According to my receipt, I believe the part number is 84049173. And it’s called SL-N-Cover (16067-CT).

 

It’s a special order from the dealer and would probably take a week until they receive it.

Installed mine tonight. Working great. Really can't understand why Chevy wouldn't just put in an auto-dim mirror when they have the connector right there. Didn't realize how nice auto-dim was until I didn't have it.

 

I bought this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-12-17-NEW-GM-FRONT-WINDSHIELD-REAR-VIEW-MIRROR-W-AUTO-DIMMING-DIM-OEM/283191749982?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

 

The plastic around the mirror wasn't too bad getting it off the windshied. I used a plastic tool thing I got as part of a kit to pry between the windshied and the plastic piece working around it. I then slid it all the way til it was against the back of the mirror then rotated it 90 degress to get access to the screw and remove the mirror which slides up. Even being able to work on it on the bench the two plastic pieces were still a pain to get off the old mirror.

 

I also did have to pull the home link thing down which was the 4 screws. Made it easier getting the glued connector pulled down.

I see online when you build a 2020 TB there is an option on the Interior tab to add a rearview auto-dimming mirror. BUT it says this if you select it

 

Changing Inside rearview auto-dimming mirror will also change the following:
REMOVE
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  • Front and Rear Park Assist
  • Safety Package
  • Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert
ADD
  • Outside power-adjustable vertical trailering mirrors with heated upper glass
Price Change: -$545
 
Not sure why those options are tied in with what mirror you have.....

did mine today...its a quick and easy upgrade. ill provide a quick run down of the process. 

the plastic cover came off at first in one piece. gently pried at the sides and it slide right off. the smaller cover will pop off just as easy, nothing here needs to be overly forced. 

unscrew the T20 torx screw in the center of mirror bracket and mirror slides right off. 

on the roof panel remove the two L shaped cover pieces and remove the deeper set T15 screws. the entire panel will come right down with a gentile tug to release the two clips. 

ull see the needed plug glued in the opening more towards passenger side. you dont have to go digging for this. it was obvious as soon as i got the panel off. i used a flat head screw driver to lift it off the glue. again no hulk strength here. then feed connector thru hole and connect to mirror. dont forget to tighten the t20 back on to mirror and but everything back together. i also encourage you to test the mirror before you put it all back together. block the sensor on the back and shine a light into the sensor on the mirror side. again this is not a hard project. good luck and enjoy.

First time Truck owner here! (2019 Trail Boss LT) Just want to say thank you to all of you for this and other topics to help me get to know my truck better. I changed my mirror following your instructions, and suggested parts. It’s perfect!

Next thing I'd like to find out is if the wiring for the illuminated visors are up there too.  Any one taking a look soon?

Did you ever work this out? I'd like to do the same. Thanks!

So after hours and hours I found out that the positive is going to be purple with the white stripe and your negative is going to be black with a white stripe; you can do this if you are hard wiring with those amazon kits that come with negative and positive.

I ordered that mirror and was told by the dealer it was the wrong connector. Truck was at the dealership for an oil change so I thought i would just have them install it. Did you just plug it in or did you have to modify the harness?  I think tech just did not want to mess with it. I think I will just do it myself.

It literally just plugs in.  They may have only noticed the larger harness.  But there are  no modifications needed to the mirror harness.

      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

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      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.
