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

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
