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

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. 

Did you ever figure this out? If so could you provide the part numbers and details on how it was performed?

 I did but it wasn't as simple as it was on my 21. They changed the headliner harness on the refresh and the plug for the mirror is not there.  I had to purchase a pigtail and hot tap my headliner harness for power.

 

Pigtail Plug

 

The pig tail has 3 wires a red, black and a green. The red wire is needs to be a ignition switched 12 volt power. The black is a ground and the green is a reverse kicker switch. This kicker circuit disengages the auto dim when the transmission is in reverse. The kicker is optional and I did not use this wire.  

 

Far as the mirror. If you have the auto crash avoidance you need the mirror below because the plug is horizontal to miss the sensors.  Hope this helps.

Which location did you tap into the harness? I do have the crash avoidance in my truck. When you say you need the mirror below, does this mean there is not physically room for the harness to plug into the mirror? I pulled my truck apart the day after I got it and was really disappointed to see there wasn’t a blind harness in the headliner. Seems like they used it to power the crash system.

The "mirror below" is in reference to the link below that paragraph to GM part #13540313. If you use the GM part #1354012 mirror the plug will hit the sensor below the mirror.

 

Far as what wires to tap see the picture below this is the overhead console where the dome light and sunroof controls are. I would recommend using volt meter first to determine the the purple/white wire is a 12 volt switched power and the black/white wire is ground. Using the upfitter manual is a good start on electrical and plug diagrams.

Thank you. This is great. At first glance I did not see that the mirror you linked had a horizontal plug. At first I though it might be possible to tap the crash harness wires but they’re not proper voltage and I don’t think they’re’s a ground. Nice work.

Has anyone changed the side mirrors to auto dimming? Just got my 22 Sierra and neither the inside or outside dims.

You’re the second person to ask this. I’ll repost it because i want an auto dimming driver side mirror and I can’t seem to find a part # for that anywhere.  IMO an auto dimming interior mirror is almost useless if the driver side mirror is still blinding me.

Not sure if you already did this or not, but this wiring schematic from GM Upfitter may help. I'm going to try tackling this once my mirror and harness show up in my 2022 refreshed RST. Looks like Pin 5 (BK/WH) should be the negative and Pin 8 (WT) will be the positive. Not too concerned about using the reverse wire on the harness.

 

Thanks for everyone's help on this, hope I can make it work!

Has anyone successfully added the rear view mirror camera to the refreshed 22+ trucks? Seems like most of the leg work was done above, but only for the auto dimming mirror.

The refresh trucks don't have the wiring or plug for the mirror above the headliner like the older trucks.

I saw that, just wondering if anyone took the time to wire tap and install the camera mirror.

Trying to add the camera mirror to my 21 RST. I was able to verify I had the 10 pin connector in my headliner. I purchased the mirror(13536955), third brake light(84929551), and a camera cable that I saw someone use for a retrofit into a 2015.
 

I got everything installed and the mirror powers on when I start the truck. However, I am not getting any video feed to the mirror. My 10 pin looks to match up with the diagram discussed in this thread. 
 

Does this sound like I’m missing something or does anyone have any suggestions on getting the video feed working? Any help is greatly appreciated!

If the mirror powers up, then the 10 pin connector is good. All it provides is power and ground. I'd check that both ends of the blue camera cable are seated entirely, and if they are, start by trying another cable. Otherwise there is a bigger issue.

Got the auto dimming mirror with the harness installed in my 2022 refresh over the weekend. Works as it should,; much better than having to manually dim the mirror when some dick won't turn off their brights as I pass them.

Can you be more specific as to how it worked out? I added the mirror to my 2017, by wiretapping power and ground, but how exactly did you go about powering, and getting dimming feature, ect..?

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
