Easy swap but a pain to get the two longer screws back in correctly, glue issue was not a problem but did the swap on a warm day and the plug came loose fairly easily truck was sitting in the sun for a few hours which might have helped

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

I recently received my 2021 Trail Boss Custom and of course it has the “dumb” mirror. I went ahead and pulled down the console which only has OnStar and overhead lights, pretty basic. There are the 3 unused harnesses like others have mentioned. The dab of glue that holds the harness I need to upgrade my mirror is a little bit of a pain. I used a flathead screwdriver and sort of dug into the glue and just slowly wiggled and pried and it came up.

 

Now I know the harness is there I will order mirror with the garage door controller. Did anyone ever figure out what the other two harnesses are for?

This thread is so confusing.  It's about 2019-2021 trucks.  Why are guys outside of those years posting here rather than making a thread for their years and thus, cross contaminating the thread???

So I did this swap over the weekend.  I went with part number 13540312.

Got the harness freed pretty easily by using a hair dryer.

I did break the clips on the mirror cover insert so I had to order a new one of those.

I will say I haven't really notice the mirror working.  I've read others say it's not as noticeable as others, but I also haven't driven at night yet.  The closest I had was this morning when the sun was coming up.

I also have my windows tinted.

 

Anybody else have something similar?  Wondering if the mirror I got isn't good?

Thanks for the feedback.

Mine was super easy to find and connect to mirror.

Green is reverse trigger wire

Pink is auto dim outside mirror(unsure if left or right)

Gray is the other auto dim outside mirror(also unsure if left or right)

 

You really only need positive and ground. The reverse trigger just disables the dimming when you're backing up. It's only really an issue if you back out of a dark garage into bright sun, but I've had it on other vehicles with the auto dim on full time and it never bothered me.

Hey so I know I’m late to this party but I’ve been curious about the mirror swap thing too and adding vanity mirrors with a damn light. So after some research and reading through all 14 pages here while taking in the leg work some of y’all have done, it seems that there is only one wire harness for the headline and it seems it includes the the wire for the auto-dimming mirror and the vanity lighting it also seems that it includes adding the video rear view camera as well. Now who is brave enough to pull down the entire headliner to look for the connections??
 

 84711896 - that’s the GM part number for the headliner wire harness. 
13595368 - the actual GM auto dimming mirror.

13536995 - the GM auto dimming mirror that includes  video 

13532977 - the GM auto dimming morror with video and with the home link buttons on the bottom

For anyone thinking about performing the video mirror swap.  I have some excellent condition DRZ oem video mirrors and mirror kits for sale if anyone is interested. 380 shipped for mirror and 675 shipped for total kit (video mirror/harness/light/camera.  Delete if not allowed.  They are also listed on ebay for $400 and $750.  Ebay charges tax to customer and me then takes fees so I am trying to make it so we all win.

Has anyone tried this mod on a 22 refresh RST because I'm trading my 21 RST tomorrow?

 

I used the 13540312 mirror on my 21 and it has worked perfectly with the wiring harness in the head liner. From my initial once over the shroud around the mirror is much larger, I guess for the crash avoidance equipment. Just going to check here first before I order the same mirror.

I have the crash avoidance on my 21 Custom as part of the Safety Confidence package. I had to Dremel part of the bottom of the mirror mount because it interfered with the camera. It didn't take much and was able to put the plastic surrounds back on with no issues. The mirror I used was one from a truck with the towing package. I don't know what the part number is offhand. I found it on ebay for $45 and won the auction at that price.

If the mirror is a GM part look on the back (towards the windshield) driver side of the mirror there should be a part number.

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By AndrewF · Posted

      I am in the market for a bidirectional scan tool so was hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. There are so many options out there it is hard to narrow down which make/model to choose.   I have always done my own vehicle work so looking to maximize capability with the scanner. Ideal price is $1k or less but would be willing to exceed if it opens up significant benefits.  Currently my 24 2500 is the newest vehicle but also have a few mid to late 2010s Subarus as well.    It seems that the Autel MP900 has a decent amount of features at a reasonable price?

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.
