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

Double check their work. I bought that exact one and it was plug and play. They might not have pulled down the right connection.

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

Thank you!  You are correct. Installed myself in less than an hour. The dealer tech either saw the large unused plug when he took down the console or saw the plug behind the black plastic cover on the windshield. I am not sure what that is, but everything fit under the cover when I put everything back together. Hardest part was getting the plug unstuck and cleaning glue off so  it could plug into the mirror.

Thanks everyone for the tips, pics, and links. Now I need the tip to get the dang black t20s in under the console!  Can’t get either of them in and have now dropped one into the abyss of the truck floor. Any idea on a size of that screw? 
 

Otherwise, works as intended and relatively simple install!

 

Thanks again!

Stick your screws on the end of your t20 tool with hot melt Gun Gun then you can stick it up in the hole with out it falling off make it super easy to do

Good idea!  I was able to get the one in. Still looking for the other.  I honestly have no idea where it disappeared to when I dropped it!

I magnetized my torx driver when I did this job.

Same here. No issues putting it back in.

Maybe the blue trucks are easier to work on...

Mine is blue too....there goes that theory! ? In all honesty it was a simple install.  Patience, which I lack sometimes, is key.

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!

I just ordered the same exact one for the same price.  I can't believe that my  RST Z71 came with a "dumb" mirror and manual folding mirrors on the outside.  You would think a 53k truck would come with this and power folding mirrors.  My 2005 LS came with those options and it was 23k truck back then.

Just want to thank everyone in this thread for the info !  I ordered the GM Part 13581082 as listed in this thread.  I followed the instructions and installed this in less than 30 minutes in my 2019 Silverado 1500 RST.  The plug was glued in the ceiling pillar as noted and I had to use a flat head screwdriver to pry it off the metal, but it works like a champ.  Still not sure why this is not included in a truck that costs as much as it does, but the upgrade was easy enough.

 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 $$.

Do you happen to have any photos of the wire splicing/harness? I ordered the frameless as well.

Installed my gen8 hl auto dim mirror... It really does make a difference, simple install, I'm half ass smart with electrical and mine works great, I did have to run both power sources to the same spot as I couldn't find a constant 12v (was lazy and didn't test either)d4858ef8e1547cd61aacbe2b1a05ba8e.jpg

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.

      from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
