Rear View MIrror Options

Thank you I'll give it another try.

Just checked my 2019 Trail Boss Custom and the harness for the Auto-Dim Mirror is there as previously stated in this thread. I do have the optional infotainment package so that may make a difference if the harness is there or not. The screws are T-15 Torx and not Phillips that hold the overhead console to the headliner/roof.

I will be ordering the new mirror today. Link is provided in this thread as I did not see any on E-bay.

Thanks to All

Thanks for the help. Found the 2 hidden screws And you were right they were a real treat getting them back in.

To the guy who discovered the harness, Thank you/ To the guy who mentioned the screws a big Thank you. This was actually pretty easy. 

Two screws were T9 or 10, I used T-9. And the deep ones were T-15. I had pull on the console so hard, I'm surprised I didn't break it....

The harder part was to get the harness off the glue. 

I broke 2 tabs on the plastic trim but it is working good enough.

I don’t suppose anyone can take pictures of the entire process? I don’t want to break anything and quite frankly I don’t trust myself haha

I bought a new 2019 Trail Boss myself on a Friday and on way back home, I noticed the mirror was "dumb" as you call it.  Mechanical seat adjusters, polyurethane steering wheel with no buttons, etc.  I cell-phoned the dealer and told them I'd be bringing it back on Monday.  Only thing I like about the T/B was the 2" lift.  Exchanged the T/B for an LT Dual Cab Silverado.

 

Driving the T/B home, I cell-phoned an order for a new GM OEM mirror with all the bells and whistles, and an new 2019 leather wrapped steering wheel while driving back home (59 miles away).

 

I also installed a Rough Country full 3" lift kit.  Boy, with 20" tires and a 3" lift, I was a small chore getting into the truck, so last week I installed a front/rear door step.  Got it through some outfit in CA, (eBay purchase) and it is a beauty and so simple to install.  Everything matched up.  I try to keep the truck looking OEM, and that worked out as well.  Now if I can find a shift-point/firmness programmer, I'd be tickled.  So far no luck with HyperTech, SuperChips, and Bull Dog.  May have to wait a while for that.  Also looking for 4:10 ring and pinions, but no luck so far.

 

I live in Rapid City SD (west side of the state near Mt Rushmore) and on the eastern edge of the state is a company who has a contract with GM for their new stuff that doesn't work or is wrecked.  They are great to buy from over the years; Nordstroms is their name.  I think I paid like $99 for the mirror and a couple hundred for the leather and function button on the steering wheel, neither of which I used because I exchanged the T/B for a new 2019 Silverado LT Dual Cab.  No bid deal, and may install the mirror as it has the On Star button and a couple extras.

 

I made the mirror switch on my old 2013 Silverado, and don't remember any problems installing it.

It is not hard at all. once you take the small trim, two screws are obvious, the other two are in deep holes, then everything is easy. Look with a lash light and hope you have a harness....

Oof I thought the harness being there was a guarantee

I'm not sure. but it is easy to check. Yo can remove console as long as you ave the right screwdrivers. My harness was deep in there.

I have a 2019 Chevrolet LT with the home link and all but the basic mirror. So all I need is part number 13581082 and the harness is in the headliner and it's plug and play?

From what I’ve seen here, anyone who’s done it has had the harness up there. With both the regular and custom trim. 

[Trail Jefe]

All I got was the mirror. The harness was there. 

[Trail Jefe]

And I have LT TRAIL

I snapped a few pictures when I changed the mirror to the auto dimming. Maybe they will help someone with the swap.

Awesome! Thanks for the pictures. By the way, my truck doesn’t have that black cover piece. Where’s that from?
